Moonlight

V. Giannini

The moonlight falls upon my window sill,

But I have neither the desire nor will

to cross the room and gaze into the light!

This little patch of silver, is my own,

The full-orbed moon is fat and overgrown

Its face would mock the romance of the night.

So I will keep my little silver sill.

And let those face the full-orbed moon who will!
