Moonlight
Alphons Diepenbrock
O more fragrant every flower rises
in midnight's gentle moonlight,
when I mention the sweet flower
that smiles on me in daytime.
And while I praise star and moonlight,
that sweetly rests on the soft flowerbed,
that child I call my own
is both starbeam and flowers' splendour.
And I bow towards the white flower,
it seems dream and scent surround me;
and I float towards the silent stars,
and whisper my memories;
And with lips opened I silently
ponder my love.
