letra de a june night by emma lazarus - ghizela rowe

ten o’clock: the broken moon
hangs not yet a half hour high
yellow as a shield of brass
in the dewy air of june
poised between the vaulted sky
and the ocean’s liquid glass

earth lies in the shadow still;
low black bushes, trees, and lawn
night’s ambrosial dews absorb;
through the foliage creeps a thrill
whispering of yon spectral dawn
and the hidden climbing orb

higher, higher, gathering light
veiling with a golden gauze
all the trembling atmosphere
see, the rayless disk grows white!
hark, the glittering billows pause!

faint, far sounds possess the ear
elves on such a night as this
spin their rings upon the grass;
on the beach the water-fay
greets her lover with a kiss;
through the air swift spirits pass
laugh, caress, and float away
shut thy lids and thou shalt see
angel faces wreathed with light
mystic forms long vanished hence
ah, too fine, too rare, they be
for the grosser mortal sight
and they foil our waking sense

yet we feel them floating near
know that we are not alone
though our open eyes behold
nothing save the moon’s bright sphere
in the vacant heavens shown
and the ocean’s path of gold
