The Lazy Moon
In a ray of twilight
the dragonfly falls asleep.
The nightingale is already asleep
on the branch of a friendly oak tree.
The grass is full of fireflies,
the sky is crazy with stars,
and yet the shining moon
allows the night it’s shadows.
Softly, Moon, you rest
beneath the pink clouds.
Oh! Lazy one, why do you play
with my tender emotions?
Always veiled at the gentle hour,
when, gliding over the moss
the crickets sing less strongly,
you still do not rise!
Arise! Brilliant and serene,
come brighten the plain!
Silver moon,
moon with the white face,
illuminate my trembling arms!
With your pure light
brush the gold of my hair,
For soon my fiancé
will pass upon the road!
