Oh ominous moon - - pale portent of doom. br White luminous disk, suspended aloft br Thick blanket of black shot thru' with bright br Shiny catseyes of light, coating in soft br Unearthly glimmer this earthy-dark night, br Shine out your lovers' lantern-like gleaming br On harvested fields, waiting, like me- - - for br Moonstruck insanity, aided by dreaming, br Invaded my heart, broke down the door br To resistance, - - now ecstasy's hidden br In clandestine moments, - - oh wanton moon br Which with passion bewitches us - - bidden br By lunacy-love, he comes hurrying soon br To my arms yet again to set me aflame. br Oh moonbeaming night it is you I shall blame.
