BLUE MOONSHINE
by: Francis G. Stokes
- INGLED aye
with fragrant yearnings,
- Throbbing in the mellow glow,
- Glint the silvery spirit-burnings,
- Pearly blandishments of woe.
-
- Aye! forever and forever,
- Whilst the love-lorn censers sweep,
- Whilst the jasper winds dissever
- Amber-like the crystal deep,
-
- Shall the soul's delirious slumber,
- Sea-green vengeance of a kiss,
- Teach despairing crags to number
- Blue infinities of bliss.
