THE MOON IS A FIERY ROSE, by MAX DAUTHENDEY

First Line: The moon comes up as the dusk falls late
Last Line: To bring it to her in his dark hands.
Subject(s): Moon
The moon comes up as the dusk falls late,
over the castle, glowing and great,
gently loosing the earth as it goes.
The moon is like a fiery rose
my beloved lost by the garden-gate.
Against stone walls my shadow stands,
then follows me, like a Moorish slave.
I will send him back with my commands
to pick up the rose, and, swift and grave,
to bring it to her in his dark hands.
