THE WAY
PALE yellow moon, and pale green grass,
Oh, have ye seen Diana pass?
And are ye pale for longing or love,
Palest green grass, pale moon above ?
Pale yellow moon, before the dawn,
Palest green grass,
Oh, have ye seen Diana pass
Over the lawn?
Soft-noted nightingales I love,
With the earth below, and the moon above,
And the rippling river singing slowly
Under the stars serene and holy.
Great staring moon before the dawn,
Shining young grass,
Oh, have ye heard Diana pass
Over the lawn ?
Oh, dimpling river, murmuring slowly
Under the starlight pale, and holy,
Oh, little green grasshoppers chirring, chirring,
What have ye seen in the bright night stirring?
