Fairy Moon

Moon enchantment
Soon as the evening shades prevail,
The Moon takes up the wondrous tale,
And nightly to the listening Earth
Repeats the story of her birth:
Whilst all the stars that round her burn,
And all the planets, in their turn,
Confirm the tidings as they roll,
And spread the truth from pole to pole.
Joseph Addison

Puck in the moonlight

From upland slopes I see the cows file by,
Lowing, great-chested, down the homeward trail,
By dusting fields and meadow shining pale
With moon tipped dandelions. Flickering high,
A peevish night-hawk in the western sky
Beats up into the lucent solitude's.
Or drops with grinding wing. The still woods
Grow dark and deep, and gloom mysteriously.

Fairy of the Moon

Cool night winds creep, and whisper in mine ear.
The homely cricket gossips at my feet.
From far-off pools and wastes of reeds I hear,
Clear and soft piped, the chanting frogs break sweet
In full Pandean chorus, One by one
Shine out the stars, and the great night comes on.
