Moonlight Dreams

A poem about the Moonlight shining on the Natural Landscape of New Zealand

Pale shone the light from the moon
Over the deep ravine
And the tall mountains on either side
With silvered summits and dark bases clothed

Then in the cloudless sky the twinkling stars
Shine ever life-like, with life beyond
This world of ours
Our souls are drawn to them

Our souls obey the seasons, with the dawn
Hope sheds its radiance over the time to come
And visions of a mighty future rise
Peaceful moonlight, Is it not a dream?
