Under the April Moon

Bliss Carman

Oh, well the world is dreaming Under the April moon, Her soul in love with beauty, Her senses all a-swoon!

Pure hangs the silver crescent Above the twilight wood, And pure the silver music Wakes from the marshy flood.

O Earth, with all thy transport, How comes it life should seem A shadow in the moonlight, A murmur in a dream?
