In starlit nights I saw you, So cruelly you kissed me. Your lips a magic world, Your sky all hung with jewels. The killing moon Will come too soon.

About This Quote

When the stars are shining brightly, the sky is filled with glittering stars, and the moon is full and bright, there is nothing more delightful than gazing at the beauty of the night sky. But these things can quickly turn to a beautiful dream when they are met with a cruel kiss from a lover. It is a beautiful thing to see how love can be so beautiful and make us feel new life, but it can also bring new life to something that was already dead. The poem is about a man who had been smitten with a woman he had seen on a starlit night. The two were destined to meet again, but not until the moon came too soon.
