MOONLIGHT METAPHOR, by                    
First Line: The moon is brighter than a silver ball
Last Line: Between the moonlight and the light of dawn.
Subject(s): Moon


The moon is brighter than a silver ball
Upon a tinseled tree at Christmas time;
I know that frost upon a frozen hill
Could never, never sparkle quite the same.

The earth is like enchanted fairyland
Where snow-flakes give the rose a royal crown;
Then silence tip-toes in to seal a bond
Between the moonlight and the light of dawn.
