    Mother of light! how fairly dost thou go
    Over those hoary crests, divinely led!
    Art thou that huntress of the silver bow
    Fabled of old? Or rather dost thou tread
    Those cloudy summits thence to gaze below,
    Like the wild chamois from her Alpine snow,
    Where hunters never climbed--secure from dread?

The moon pull'd off her veil of light,
That hides her face by day from sight

And in the lantern of the night,
With shining horns hung out her light.

The devil's in the moon for mischief; they
Who call'd her chaste, methinks, began too soon

The longest, not the twenty-first of June,
Sees half the business in a wicked way,
On which three single hours of moonshine smile--
And then she looks so modest all the while!

When the hollow drum has beat to bed
And the little fifer hangs his head,
When all is mute the Moorish flute,
And nodding guards watch wearily,
On, then let me,
From prison free,
March out by moonlight cheerily.

Soon as the evening shades prevail,
The moon takes up the wondrous tale,
And nightly to the listening earth
Repeats the story of her birth.

That holds the heaven's tent-hangings fast.

The moving moon went up to the sky,
And nowhere did abide;
Softly she was going up,
And a star or two beside.

How like a queen comes forth the lonely Moon
From the slow opening curtains of the clouds
Walking in beauty to her midnight throne!
