The poem describes a mystical moonchild and her activities like dancing, dreaming, talking to trees, sleeping by fountains, sailing on the wind, playing, and waiting for the sun.

The poem is about a mystical creature called a 'moonchild' and describes her dancing, dreaming, talking to trees, sleeping by fountains, sailing on the wind, playing, and waiting for the sun.

The moonchild engages in dancing in rivers, gathering flowers in gardens, dreaming in shadows of willows, talking to trees, sleeping by fountains, sailing on the wind with a white gown, dropping stones on sundials, playing hide and seek with ghosts, and waiting for the sun.

Call her moonchild


Dancing in the shallows of a river
Lovely moonchild
Dreaming in the shadow
of the willow.

Talking to the trees of the


cobweb strange
Sleeping on the steps of a fountain
Waving silver wands to the
night-birds song
Waiting for the sun on the mountain.

She's a moonchild
Gathering the flowers in a garden.
Lovely moonchild
Drifting on the echoes of the hours.

Sailing on the wind


in a milk white gown
Dropping circle stones on a sun dial
Playing hide and seek
with the ghosts of dawn
Waiting for a smile from a sun child.
