Moonlight--Edith Livingston Smith

Wonderful Mon! could I put into words
what you say to my heart from the
sky,
I would spell out God's name and the
strength of Man's flame in the
light of Eternity;
The silence of flowers, dew-drenched in
the thicket, peace of the green
trees above--
Moon of night's history, tell me the mys-
tory of the heart's yearning for
love.

Mystical Moon, could I sing into song
what you breathe to my soul from the sky,
Life had the pow'r of each unknown
hour God means us to live by
and by.
