Peace Be With You

While we were learning to enjoy poetry in our English lessons and exploring the Solar System in our Science lessons, I stumbled upon this beautiful poem...

Is the Moon Tired?

Is the moon tired? She looks so pale
Within her misty veil:
She scales the sky from east to west,
And takes no rest.

Before the coming of the night
The moon shows papery white;
Before the dawning of the day
She fades away.

-Christina Rossetti
