First Line: The moon has made me weary

Subject(s): Moon
The moon has made me weary
With its silver and its song.
Such ardor in so old a thing
Is wrong, all wrong.
It should be limping silently
Across the leaden sky
Or grumbling at the cloud-hills
The wind pile high.
It should be teaching little moons
The proper way to shine,
Instead of singing sonnets
To each adoring pine.
