Full Moon by Walter de la Mare
One night as Dick lay half asleep, Into his drowsy eyes A great still light began to creep From out the silent skies. It was the lovely moon's, for when He raised his dreamy head, Her surge of silver filled the pane And streamed across his bed. So, for a while, each gazed at each -- Dick and the solemn moon -- Till, climbing slowly on her way, She vanished, and was gone.
