Moonlight

By Paul Verlaine โฑ 1 min
Moonlight

Your soul is a chosen landscape
Where charming masquers and bergamasquers go
Playing the lute and dancing and almost
Sad beneath their fanciful disguises.

While singing in a minor key
Of victorious love and life opportune,
They do not seem to believe in their happiness,
And their song mingles with the moonlight.
