The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Slowly, silently, now the moon

Walks the night in her silver shoon;

This way, and that, she peers, and sees

Silver fruit upon silver trees;

One by one the casements catch

Her beams beneath the silvery thatch;

Couched in his kennel, like a log,

With paws of silver sleeps the dog;

From their shadowy coat the white breasts peep

Of doves in a silver-feathered sleep;

A harvest mouse goes scampering by,

With silver claws, and silver eye;

And moveless fish in the water gleam,

By silver reeds in a silver stream.

Thy shadow, Earth, from Pole to Central Sea,

Now steals along upon the Moon's meek shine

In even monochrome and curving line

Of imperturbable serenity.



How shall I link such sun-cast symmetry

With the torn troubled form I know as thine,

That profile, placid as a brow divine,

With continents of moil and misery?



And can immense Mortality but throw

So small a shade, and Heaven's high human scheme

Be hemmed within the coasts yon arc implies?



Is such the stellar gauge of earthly show,

Nation at war with nation, brains that teem,

Heroes, and women fairer than the skies?

The sky was lit

by the splendor of the moon

So powerful

I fell to the ground





Your love

has made me sure



I am ready to forsake

this worldly life

and surrender to the magnificence

of your Being

The moving Moon went up the sky.



And nowhere did abide;



Softly she was going up,



And a star or two beside-

I know not what I seek eternally

On earth, in air, and sky;

I know not what I seek; but it is somthing that I have lost,I know not when, and i cannot find, althought in dreams invisibly

its dwells in all I thouch and see.



Ah, bliss! Never can I recapture you

either on earth, in air, or sky,

although I know you have reality

and are no futile dream!

When its rays fall on its cheeks the cat licks them, thinking them milk;

When they are caught in the cleft of a tree the elephant deems them a lotus;

when they rest in the couch of lovers the maiden seizes them, saying, "Tis my robe";

The moon in truth, proud of itd brilliance, doth lead astrsy all this world.

A magic lanscape,

My hearts Delight:

A full moon's brightness,

A Plain sheer white,



The high sky lighted,

The snow's pure ray,

And far-off gliding,

A lonely sleigh.

The moon is gone

And the pleiads set,

Midnight is nigh;

Time passes on,

And passes, yet

Alone I Lie

Once- only once,

I saw him in the light

Of the sky-wandering moon;

Now I see him in my dreams.
