Slowly rising, slowly strengthening moon, Pardon us our fear in pride: Pardon us our troubled quietnesses! Aye, pardon us, O moon, Round, bright upon the darkening! Pardon us our little journeys endlessly repeated! All halting tendernesses pardon us, O high moon! For you, nooning by night, You having crept to the full, You, O moon, must have understanding of these things. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...POEM TO TAKE BACK THE NIGHT by JUNE JORDAN THE MOON AND THE SPECTATOR by LEONIE ADAMS FULL MOON by KARLE WILSON BAKER NO MORE OF THE MOON by MORRIS GILBERT BISHOP THE DEPARTURE by DENISE LEVERTOV THE MOON IN GREECE by TIMOTHY LIU A CELEBRATION by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS |
