THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MOON, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Out into the cool clear air
Last Line: To the other side of the moon!
Subject(s): Air; Love; Moon


Out into the cool clear air
Where love, like music, dies behind us!
Out of the torches' flare,
Where lust lacks wings ever to find us!
Out into regions where
Hushed is the old mad tune; --
Out into the cool clear air;
To the other side of the moon!
