Crescent smiled toward town twinkled house light,
like hook fished whale of cloud in lake of night,
and drifted toward faraway mountain,
like boat drifted with wind on cloud ocean.
Meniscus hid a half in cloud of dome,
as water moonlight watered plum blossom,
and showed a half over still lake with gleam,
as another half reflected in stream.
Pearl face of yours was rounder than pearl moon,
and brighter than sunshine in afternoon,
and paler than winter drifting snowflake,
and nicer than summer lily in lake.
Each night moon increased moonlight lit dark night,
yearning to you increased like crescent light.
