| 81. Baby Face |
| |
| |
| WHITE MOON comes in on a baby face. | |
| The shafts across her bed are flimmering. | |
| |
| Out on the land White Moon shines, | |
| Shines and glimmers against gnarled shadows, | |
| All silver to slow twisted shadows | 5 |
| Falling across the long road that runs from the house. | |
| |
| Keep a little of your beauty | |
| And some of your flimmering silver | |
| For her by the window to-night | |
| Where you come in, White Moon. | 10 |
