Summer Night
Language: English
Moonshine calling faint light from seadeeps unknown, Burns bright in the blossoming spray of the foam. Soft winds, myrtle-scented, roam from clear stars Far-flung in the dome of exquisite blue. There stirs in the moon-silvered spears of the firs faint sea murmur. Soft-breathing, the song of the water, weaving spells of sweet silence, Fills the blue space 'twixt the sea and the hills.
