| To Catch a Glimpse of the Moon |
| Winter moon on a foggy gray night In the Arctic Circle where the night is never dark. |
| It was near Solstice in the eve When my eyes cast a glance Out the glass, To catch a glimpse of the lesser light That rules the white, black night. |
I was disapointed to see she hid her face in a hazy veil |
to become only a blur in the sky, to hide the glory of her beautiful face, to hold her mystery from the human race. |
I turned my head to sigh and behind my back the clouds moved by to reveal her naked eye in the sky as she smiled in the hazy veil of night. |
