Simples

Of cool sweet dew and radiance mild
The moon is a web of a silence weaves
In the still garden where a child
Gathers the simple leaves
Gathers the simple leaves
Gaaaaathers… athers…
Simple leaves
Gather
Be mine, I pray; a waxen ear
To shield me from her childish croon
And mine a shielded heart for her
Who gathers simples of the moon
Who gathers simples of the moon
Of the moon
Of the moon
A moon dew star her hanging hair
And moonlight kisses here her young brow
And gathering she sing, sing an air
Fair as the wave is, fair, art thou!
Be mine, I pray; a waxen ear
To shield me from her childish croon
And mine a shielded heart for her
Who gathers simples of the moon
Who gathers simples of the moon
Of the moon
Of the moon
A moon dew star
her hanging hair
And moonlight kisses moonlight kisses
Here her young brow…
