						To her lunacy; of crest and orb 
						She is dry of any rheum 
						Grit of stardust in a silent air 
						Shored by waves of lighted dew 
						Once new; she swells against velvet fold 
						To sail in midnight's shaded glee 
						Against the dawn's sweet ethereal shine 
						In these blued and ghostly seas 
						As lyrical fish; these stars align 
						A swollen luminary 
						In ribboned stream across heaven's field 
						Begins in an earnest ebb 
						Of lofty reigns and night's torch to wield 
						Lost to strands of midnight's web
