Last night a pale young Moon was wed <br />Unto the amorous, eager Sea; <br />Her maiden veil of mist she wore <br />His kingly purple vesture, he. <br /> <br />With her a bridal train of stars <br />Walked sisterly through shadows dim, <br />And, master minstrel of the world, <br />The great Wind sang the marriage hymn. <br /> <br />Thus came she down the silent sky <br />Unto the Sea her faith to plight, <br />And the grave priest who wedded them <br />Was ancient, sombre-mantled Night.<br /><br />Lucy Maud Montgomery<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-bridal/
