MOONLIGHT NIGHT by ERMINIE BROADSTONE

First Line: SOFT, SILVERY RADIANCE IN WHOSE COOL, WHITE LIGHT
Last Line: GLEAMING BEAUTY OF A MOONLIGHT NIGHT.
Subject(s): MOON;
Soft, silvery radiance in whose cool, white light
The flowers assume new grace
And glow with strange, mysterious beauty
After a sun-baked day.
The birds are still, but in the pool
The gold fish dart and gleam
And the frogs in full chorus sing.
I sit and dream in the vibrant silence
Aided by elusive odours:
Lavender, mint, geranium, distilled into the radiant
Gleaming beauty of a moonlight night.
