MOON-FLOWER, by WAYLAND A. DUNHAM

Last Line: And found you gone.
Subject(s): Moon
First Line: I saw a moon / framed in gauze-draped shadows
Last Line: And found you gone.
Subject(s): Moon
I saw a moon,
-- Framed in gauze-draped shadows,
And my heart sang in unvoicable serenity
Because you were near.
I saw a moon,
-- Lost on a shimmering path of the ocean,
And my breath trembled with the surge of the waters
Because of your loveliness.
I saw a moon,
-- Fade with the dawning like a fragile night flower,
And my soul withered, as gray light lengthened
And found you gone.
