Moon Bathing Pantoum

Come darling, behold that cascading fall, 
Cascading from the mellow bubbling moon. 
How so cool, gentle, this balmy blue shawl!  
Come darling, we shall drown in, this mid-June.  

Cascading from the mellow bubbling moon,  
What pours is honey to kindle our love; 
Come darling, we shall drown in, this mid-June,  
This honey-dipped fall that falls, from above. 

What pours is honey to kindle our love; 
Come, dance darling, in this honey-moon night; 
This honey-dipped fall that falls, from above,  
So dazzling, pleasing is this lovely sight. 

Here! the moon bathing lovers' lovely hum;  
How so cool, gentle, this balmy blue shawl!  
How so soothing! how so enchanting! Come,
Come darling, behold that cascading fall.
