SERENADE by WILLIAM GRIFFITH

First Line: THE MOON PUTS ON HER SILVER VEIL
Last Line: THE EERY LAUGHTER OF THE LEAVES.
Subject(s): MOON;

The Moon puts on her silver veil
And shawl of lace: and with far lutes
And violins in many a dale
The thrushes blow their woodland flutes.

Oh, and with many a ghostly cheer,
Under the moon the forest heaves
And sways with ecstasy to hear
The eery laughter of the leaves.
