Moonlight Lullaby

[Kikuyu_Black_Paws]

Moonlight spilling on the snow

Where no forest creatures go:

Tell me where and tell me quick,

And chide me with no changeling's trick~

How find I the demon's nest

Under which the faeries rest?

In what stream do sirens sing?

And where is last night's faerie ring?

Is an acorn just a cap?

Or is it this: a Lesidhe's hat?

And are the shadows really stirring,

Or are the nightmares softly luring?

Do they have stars on their heads

That glisten gold and blue and red?

Or is it moondrop, soft and white,

With which they capture faerie light?

Tell me swiftly ere you fade

And your silver turn to jade

Where do lullabies shift the snow?

For it is thither I must go.

Moonlight spilling on the snow

Where no forest creatures go: <=== Maybe "Where forest creatures will not go"

 

 

Is an acorn just a cap?

Or is it this: a Lesidhe's hat?

^I'm not sure what Lesidhe is (or how it is pronounced), but I would suggest altering the 2nd line to "Or perhaps, a Lesidhe's hat?"

 

 

Do they have stars on their heads <===Maybe "Have they stars upon their heads"

 

 

I love the line, "Where do lullabies shift the snow?"

 

And btw...your Neruda's signature rocks my socks off.
