MARGOT, MY PAGE: MOONLIGHT by PAUL FORT

First Line: AS AN APEN QUIVERS, 'GAINST THIS HEART OF MINE BE A RAY THAT SHIVERS
Last Line: DIAN'S ARCHERY?
Subject(s): ANIMALS; MOON; NUDITY; RABBITS; NAKEDNESS; HARES;

As an aspen quivers, 'gainst this heart of mine be a ray that shivers soft as
satin fine.

Blue and alabaster is my goddess bright. Rabbits frolic past her through the
summer night.

Pale the perron gleameth. All your nudity to my bosom streameth, star that falls
on me!

How your neck, Margot, with your haunch doth glide! Rabbits far and wide fluff
white tails below.

All things blend and move. Who will laugh to see these poor butts that prove
Dian's archery?
