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.

"Blue Moonshine" is reprinted from A Nonsense Anthology. Ed. Carolyn Wells. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1915.
