Burning, burning

Burning, burning

A mellow tune upon my heart,

Yearning, yearning,

Sang the moon with ageless art.

Thrilling, thrilling

To the magic in the sky,

Filling, filling

Shadowed spots with silver dye.

Beaming, beaming

With a happiness supreme,

Gleaming, gleaming

As the cloudlets intervene.

Hoping, hoping

That its joy would never end,

Sloping, sloping,

I saw old dawn around the bend

Of night!
