The Silent Moon

The silent moon, a silver disc,
Doth climb the heavens, pale and grand,
And casts its glow, with gentle risk,
Across the slumbering, darkened land.
It watches over all below,
A beauteous orb, serene and bright,
And bathes the world in spectral glow,
Throughout the long and quiet night.
