Verse and Reverse (1921)/Song and Melody
Song and Melody
Silver Moon, silver Moon, through thy silver night,
Sawest thou a tiny bird wing its flight?
Silver dipped its fluttering wings to the silver sea.
Silver Breezes! Silver Breezes! Bear it back to me.
Silver Star, silver Star, through thy silver night,
Sawest thou a silver Dream take its flight?
Sailing o'er the silver waves, riding high and low.
Silver Breezes! Silver Breezes! Do not let it go.
Silver Bird and silver Dream.
Song—and Melody,
Through silver night, 'neath silver Stars,
They escaped from me.
—Margaret Hoskin
