Luna
O, white and tranquil summer moon,
Silent disk of placid light,
Let me never see another noon,
But live forever in this night.
The clouds endeavor to hide your face,
But their existence is fragile and they soon divide,
As I who live to see your grace
Ride a ripple of life that will soon subside.
But you, sweet moon, will yet remain
To light the night for children's eyes,
And by your light will lovers love,
And mothers sing their lullabies.
