Silver

Silver :


Silently, 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 cote the white breasts peep

Of doves in a silver feathered sleep

A harvest mouse goes scampering by;

With silver claws, and a silver eye,

And moveless fish in the water gleam,

By silver reeds in a silver stream.
