How sweet the silver Moon's pale ray, <br />Falls trembling on the distant bay, <br />O'er which the breezes sigh no more, <br />Nor billows lash the sounding shore. <br />Say, do the eyes of those I love, <br />Behold thee as thou soar'st above, <br />Lonely, majestic and serene, <br />The calm and placid evening's Queen? <br />Say, if upon thy peaceful breast, <br />Departed spirits find their rest, <br />For who would wish a fairer home, <br />Than in that bright, refulgent dome?<br /><br />Nathaniel Hawthorne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/address-to-the-moon/
