Thou spinster of the silken night Why slide beneath that sylphen cloud, Why hide the blush of pallid cheek To mask your secret smile in shroud ? Pale crescent love of velvet void A vivid splash of pinprick gems, Suspended in black solitude Such  beauty midst celestial friends. Lovers kiss beneath your spell Hand in hand they stroll the lane Garlanded in silver light, Ensnared within your crescent’s reign. Thou siren voice doth wax and wane These very oceans sing your song, As seabirds ply your ebbing tides And global winds blow clear and strong. Lunar light threads through tree boughs Casting lurid shadows bare, Causing wolves to crouch and howl At living, moonbeam shards in air. Oh sister of the silent night Feel the haunting call of owl, Scan the forest’s shadowed light, Gild the snow clad mountain’s cowl. Thou spinster of the silken night Rest thy secrets in thy soul, Fade as shadows blend  to day, Relenquish all to sun's control.. Marshal Gebbie Victoria Park Tunnel 14 January 2011

Thou spinster of the silken night Why slide beneath that sylphen cloud, Why hide the blush of pallid cheek To mask your secret smile in shroud ? Pale crescent love of velvet void A vivid splash of pinprick gems, Suspended in black solitude Such  beauty midst celestial friends. Lovers kiss beneath your spell Hand in hand they stroll the lane Garlanded in silver light, Ensnared within your crescent’s reign. Thou siren voice doth wax and wane These very oceans sing your song, As seabirds ply your ebbing tides And global winds blow clear and strong. Lunar light threads through tree boughs Casting lurid shadows bare, Causing wolves to crouch and howl At living, moonbeam shards in air. Oh sister of the silent night Feel the haunting call of owl, Scan the forest’s shadowed light, Gild the snow clad mountain’s cowl. Thou spinster of the silken night Rest thy secrets in thy soul, Fade as shadows blend  to day, Relenquish all to sun's control.. Marshal Gebbie Victoria Park Tunnel 14 January 2011
