A maiden steals through silent moonlight
to where, under an elm's shadows
her waiting lover's eyes are bright
while nature's music is heard from surrounding meadows.
From a pond comes the croaking of frogs
and nearby, crickets sing with might.
While a little rabbit, now unafraid of dogs
also adds his patter-patter rhythm to the night.
A night for love, when in the skies above
the full moon winks and smiles
when all is bliss on a night like this
the full moon winks and smiles.
