The moon is truly a beautiful mistress and her luminous children are no less splendid. They light my way tonight as they have many others, yet despite their beauty I find them dull. Tonight, like most, you've invaded my mind making me forget the world around me. You outshine the moon and the stars and indeed the sun itself. Venus could stand before me and I would pass her by thinking of you, but thoughts they shall remain. You are is far from my reach as the moon and the stars. You are as likely to think of me as Venus is to appear in front of me; so I'll keep you in my thoughts and the world will remain dull around me.
