MOONLIGHT by MARGUERITE ATTERBURY

First Line: THE MOON'S A SPECTRE PIRATE SHIP
Last Line: THEY'VE SILVERED ALL THE TREES.
Subject(s): MOON;
THE moon's a spectre pirate ship
Upon an inky sea;
A shred of mist her tattered flag,
The clouds her canvas be;
And ducats, silver ducats,
A myriad shower of these!
She's thrown them o'er to light the craft;
They've silvered all the trees.
