Lunar Lore

Lunar Lore  

 

 

Near full moon, a misty sunrise
Bodes fair weather and cloudless skies.
 – Collected in R. Inwards, “Weather Lore”

Are you content being so far away
From all the other beings in the universe?
Is it sublime to have an unrestricted view
Of these others?
Do they have their own will? Do you?
And, so, do I?
 – Karen Ley Smith, “Earth’s Moon.”

The brown buds thicken on the trees,
  Unbound, the free streams sing,
As March leads forth across the leas
  The wild and windy spring.
   – Elizabeth Akers Allen, in the “Old Farmer’s Almanac” for 1912
