To the Full Moon Rising

Are you leaving me already? Only now, you were so near! Cloud-mass shadows you, I see, And you’re no longer here. Yet you feel how sad I am, Your rim still shines, a star! Telling me how loved I am, Though my Beloved’s far. So pursue, now! Brighter, brighter, Purer ways, with greater light! Though my heart in pain beats faster, More than blessed is the Night.
