Angel and Lunar Moth
At surly night upon the meadow
Lonely angel 'mid the lilies
Sleeping sought in vain
One in blossom and awake...
Laden clouds with unrest
Drifted slowly to the West...
But alas, the angel still
Sought and sought her lily-dream...

Silvery moth as ray of moon
Sate on sleeping twig aloof,
Saying, "Let me, angel sweet,
Seat upon your shoulder; We,
Maybé, have much to say...
Máybe moth can light your way..."
- But ay... too deep is night,
Too moonless, Angel sighed...
- But how do you know, perhaps,

The moon is closer than you can
Even imagine, but
Be not despondent, night will pass...

And thus they parted: little moth,
And angel 'mid the sleeping lilies lost...
