Under These Slow and Sinking Pale Half-Moons--By Robert Lindley--United States

Under These Slow and Sinking Pale Half-Moons

Angel of soft, ever wanting touch;

Delivers with serenity in tow;

That this sunken vessel needs very much-

Set thy eyes upon my dark, fleeting soul!

Will this humble plea strike upon thy heart;

Shall from it, thee ever give joyous tunes?

Or force in me yet another sad start-

Under these slow and sinking, pale half-moons.

Angel of my heart's desperate desires;

Will thee ever prepare that blessed meal,

Roasting delicately upon hot fires-

Aye, thy gentle hand my soul doth now feel!
