.
Pale faced is bone true,
Lit in darkness like a match,
Two lovers in flame.
The moon is low monster,
High above any scream,
Our lives asunder.
The moon is one faced,
Judge without any jury,
My love for you is plain.
The moon is great Poet,
Above all mountains, pious
In the indifferent skies.
I once loved a dark lad,
Who laid me so blindly bare,
Even the nightingale was mute.
And love is a glowing ghost,
On my shoulders to keep,
Behind me the moon.
