First Line: The slender moon in its silvery sheen
Last Line: For what should the night winds sigh?
Subject(s): Moon; Night; Sleep; Summer; Bedtime
The slender moon in its silvery sheen,
The golden stars with the blue between
Of a dreamy, summer sky;
And still the night winds sigh.
With the silvery moon to whisper to,
And the golden stars to kiss, mid the blue
Of a listening, summer sky,
For what should the night winds sigh?
