Moonlight

Kathryn White Ryan

IT has covered the earth as this sheet my knee

Where my body lies like a reed in snow.

It has altered my room to a satin tomb.

It has made of my soul a silver flute—

A silver flute in a white case, mute;

A silver flute filled with prisoned song,

Long shrill song for your lips to free.
