Full Corn Moon will be at its fullest over Merry Mount.
The fields of corn that line Junk Road will
be lighted by Diana. If you venture out,
beware of her seductive powers.
Thou silver deity of
secret night,
Direct my footsteps through the woodland shade;
Thou conscious witness of unknown delight,
The Lover's guardian, and the Muse's aid!
By thy pale beams I solitary rove,
To thee my tender grief confide;
Serenely sweet you gild the silent grove,
My friend, my goddess, and my guide.
E'en thee, fair queen, from thy amazing height,
The charms of young Endymion drew;
Veil'd with the mantle of concealing night;
With all thy greatness and thy coldness too.

Veil'd with the mantle of concealing night;
With all thy greatness and thy coldness too.
Deep within the shadows of the corn,
What mysteries does your light adorn?
What passions does the darkness conceal?
Will your brilliance their splendor reveal?
