O’rising moon!

For someone I yearn for

O rising moon with thy light!

Shining mute throughout the night

Thou are eminent in the sky

Amid roses black and dry

Pick one vivid still, and bright

Wrap it tenderly in night

Spray stardust for it to gleam

And match the smile of my dream

 

O rising moon with thy light!

Shining at the end of sight

Why are thee stray in space?

And why are tears on thy face?

It’s some time and she'll waken

And all sorrows will be taken

Warmth will spread so fast

Banishing our banes to past

O rising moon with thy light!

Shining mute throughout the night.

Please descend from thy throne!

Kill the hours I spend alone!

Bring to life the sight I miss

The pearly face of our princess

Second time you use "night" in the first stanza, I'd replace it with something else. I understand you are trying to keep in the rhyme scheme, but it's too much "night" for one stanza.

I'm glad you wrote about one of my favorite subjects--the lovely moon.

Interesting that it is "our princess." The speaker shares this femininity with the moon. I'd like to see more of this interesting relationship.

I'd take your suggestion in consideration. However, the usage of night in the 6th line was not solely for keeping the rhyme, it has its own meaning, but I'll see through it though

Thank you for reading
