The moon, a silver wafer, clings.

It’s what makes that the inner core of my being grow wings
Grow wings yes and fly to heights never before discovered
Bask in feelings so intense that nothing, no one else mattered

Far back to youth's valley of hope.

How infinite life and its scope!

Something which sets the black poplars ashake with hysterical laughter;
While slowly the house of day is closing its eastern shutters.
