SILVER SANDALS, by                    
First Line: Last night I saw an april moon
Last Line: But that I want to pray.
Subject(s): April; Moon


Last night I saw an April moon
With silver-sandaled feet
And misty, whirling wind-blown hair
Glide noiseless down the street.

With timid, lightsome, barefoot tread
She moved without a sound,
Her trailing foot-prints gleaming bright
Like stars upon the ground.

Close about her slender form
She held her spangled frock
With hands upon my garden gate
She gently shook its lock.

With wistful, yearning, eager eyes
She peeked behind the hedges,
She climbed atop the garden wall
Then to the window ledges.

She lingered at the apple tree
Where we were once so gay—
I never see an April moon
But that I want to pray.
