Moonlight
Language: English
Chosen for Diff
Under the silver moonlight, flutter the great white wings, Woo'd by the soft night breezes tender with whispered things. Silently onward gliding into the silent night, Like to a fairy vessel crowned with a fairy light. Whisper O soft night breezes, murmur your tender tune, Carry the white wings onward, under the silver moon.
