Moonlight, and shadows of leaves On the white wall above me -- The shadows gallop and swirl without sound. Blue moonlight, brief shadows of leaves, And once more I see you, Saying aloud, like a dreamer, "You love me, You love me!" Moonlight . . . down there in the garden I know, without seeing, The somnolent fountain is filled with blue fire. I close my eyes, I pursue you Through dream's fainter moonlight, Ghostlike, with shadows of dead leaves, silently Fleeing. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CONTRA MORTEM: THE SUN by HAYDEN CARRUTH IVY by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON DOWN BY THE CARIB SEA: 4.
