It is moonlight Alone in the silenceB
I ascend my stairs once moreC
While waves remote in a pale blue starlightD
Crash on a white sand shoreC
It is moonlight The garden is silentE
I stand in my room aloneF
Across my wall from the far off moonG
A rain of fire is thrownF
There are houses hanging above the starsH
And stars hung under a seaA
And a wind from the long blue vault of timeI
Waves my curtain for meA
I wait in the dark once moreC
Swung between space and spaceJ
Before my mirror I lift my handsK
And face my remembered faceJ
Is it I who stand in a question hereL
Asking to know my nameM
It is I yet I know not whither I goN
Nor why nor whence I cameM
It is I who awoke at dawnO
And arose and descended the stairP
Conceiving a god in the eye of the sunQ
In a woman's hands and hairP
It is I whose flesh is gray with the stonesR
I builded into a wallS
With a mournful melody in my brainT
Of a tune I cannot recallS
There are roses to kiss and mouths to kissU
And the sharp pained shadow of deathV
I remember a rain drop on my cheekW
A wind like a fragrant breathV
And the star I laugh on tilts through heavenQ
And the heavens are dark and steepX
I will forget these things once moreC
In the silence of sleepX
