Moon Shadows
The solstice moon
Casts her full light
As like a false sun
That shines in the night
And wondrous shadows dance
Across the gray night
And the summer flowers
In full quivering bloom
Almost show their colors
Like August fairies
Amidst the gloom
And the spiders orbed web
Glistens as it blows
In the gentle wind
The forms of night
The ghosts, the goblins
The nocturnal creatures
That lurk otherwise about
They do dance and make merry
While all else is quiet
