Such magnificence; such beauty
Such colour that imbues
La Luna on this autumn night
With harvest moon in view
Resplendent in her regalia
Of ruby orange glow
Midst diamond studded starlit sky
Seen from the world below
Commanding awe and wonder
She reaps with mystic might
To gather in the souls of those
Regarding her tonight

The lunar disk that paces cross the sky
White luminosity through blackness speeds
Behind the clouds of grey and darkness shies
Controlling waves she summons ocean’s needs
Celestial body gleaming rays of white
In synchronous rotation shows one face
A natural satellite that shines so bright
Ecliptic pathway circling with grace
Yet throughout time tis said that a full moon
Will influence with madness so perplexed
And warp the mind to waver out of tune
To leave each man and woman over vexed
Still marvel at our moon less dare profane
As lunar phases wax before they wane
