the Sole Sonnet


When the moon gazes wearily downward
To weep for our sorrows and struggles past,
Blow her kisses to make her smile and laugh.
And as this tired traveler moves onward--
His hope-- gleaming in the pools of moonlight
As he sheds tears for the steps that fell behind--
Those precious footsteps that fell far behind!--
Each step a painful reminder behind...
But he wishes on the moon up above--
Blows kisses to mingle with light above.
At dawn, his soul gives such a doleful sigh
He whithers like a flower in the light--
Crying: "Return sweet Mistress of the Night!"
