by Alfred Tennyson, Lord (1809 - 1892)
Mellow moon of heaven
Language: English
Miriam (singing). Mellow moon of heaven. Bright in blue, Moon of married hearts, Hear me, you! Twelve times in the year Bring me bliss, Globing Honey Moons Bright as this. Moon, you fade at times From the night. Young again you grow Out of sight. Silver crescent-curve, Coining soon, Globe again, and make Honey Moon. Shall not my love last, Moon, with you, For ten thousand years Old and new?
