When he has passed away:
He labored not for gain."
Heaven And The Stars
© Mikhail Lermontov
Brilliant heavens of evening,
Distant stars clearly shining,
How to Accompany The Moon Without Walking
© Conrad Aiken
Harsh, harsh, the maram grass on the salt dune,
seen by the crickets eye against the harbor moon,
anchor-frost and seaward, the lighthouse moon
