Moon on Water

Moon on Water

The tide ripples in the moonlight
The wind is whistling in the tree
The firmament, so starry bright
 
The curving bay, so clear to sight
Light and dark, in shaded beauty
The tide ripples in the moonlight
 
The gravelled path calls to alight
To walk beneath the oaken lea
The firmament, so starry bright
 
Ghostly gravestones can afright
Cause unwary travellers to flee
The tide ripples in the moonlight
 
The tide is rising, in its might
In its deep waters, reflected see
The firmament, so starry bright
 
Foam flecked, the sea is white
A sacred place this now for me
The tide ripples in the moonlight
The firmament, so starry bright
