Moves with silent peaceful motion.

And swelling read more

Such a slender moon, going up and up,
Waxing so fast from night to night,
And swelling like an orange flower-bud, bright,
Fated, methought, to round as to a golden cup,
And hold to my two lips life's best of wine.

The sun had sunk and the summer skies
Were dotted with specks of light
That melted soon in the deep moon-rise
That flowed over Groton Height.

The devil's in the moon for mischief; they
Who call'd her chaste, methinks, began too soon

Sees half the business in a wicked way,
On which three single hours of moonshine smile--
And then she looks so modest all the while!
