Slowly, silently, now the moonWalks the night in her silver shoon;

This way, and that, she peers, and seesSilver fruit upon silver trees;

One by one the casements catchHer beams beneath the silvery thatch;

Couched in his kennel, like a log,With paws of silver sleeps the dog;

From their shadowy cote the white breast prepOf doves in a silver-feathered sleep;

A harvest mouse goes scampering by,With silver claws, and silver eye;

And moveless fish in the water gleam,By silver reeds in a silver stream.
