Moon Deluge
So still and luminous the night
That I might dream had come again
The Deluge – but of softer rain,
Shed from the full moon's mist of light –
And earth knew silent deeps of seas,
Where coral hills are girt around
With fronded forests of no sound,
And fishes slide from tree to tree.
– Raynor D. Chapman (1944)
