Tonight
By Carlos Wupperman
(Contemporary American poet)
Tonight the beautiful, chaste moon
From heaven’s height
Scatters over the bridal earth
Blossoms of white;
And spring’s renewed glad charms unfold
Endless delight.
Such mystic wonder the hushed world wears,
Evil has fled
Far, far away; in every heart
God reigns instead....
Tonight a starving virgin sells
Her soul for bread.
