MOONLIGHT
Abdulazeez Qassim Ishola 2004 (Oyo)
Light in dark up the sky
Like a golden bowl
Met we on hill, in dale and forest
Bring self to see
Only to see not to say
Light in dar up the sky
Call'd moonlight;are not you be
That light the palace,light the hut
To few soul, moon be as a god
The jaw of darkness not dare devour it up
I am beloved of beauteous moon
Brother had it,but heat is it
Brother had it,but too much at noon
Stood for it for morrow night
Doth the moonlight that night we play our play
Smile at night for thou to see
Three day will quickly speed themselves in night;
Three nights will quickly dream away the sec;
And the moon,like a golden bowl
Now bent in heaven, shall behold the night of our solemnities
Light in dark up the sky
Like a golden bowl
Bring self to see
Only to see not to say
