When your eyes gaze seaward <br />Piercing through the dim <br />Slow descending nightfall, <br />On the outer rim <br /> <br />Where the deep blue silence <br />Touches sky and sea, <br />Hast thou seen the golden <br />Moon, rise silently? <br /> <br />Seen the great battalions <br />Of the stars grow pale --- <br />Melting in the magic <br />Of her silver veil? <br /> <br />I have seen the wonder, <br />I have felt the balm <br />Of the golden moonrise <br />Turn to silver calm.<br /><br />William Stanley Braithwaite<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/golden-moonrose/
