Maiden of the Moon
She flees once more into the wind
And intertwines with night
Rekindling each fading star
With pallid, hazy light
Each one bestows a blessing
'Pon the everlasting saint
Of the fantasies of younglings
Undefiled by worldly taint
When the morning soon prevails
And forgotten are their dreams
The maiden of the moon dissolves
In sunlight's scorching beams
