I see you better now, shaded in deeper blue,
Hardly needing to carry the find-your-way lamp down to the river.
Tonight flies a better moon.

Sad water buffalo lie fast near the shallows,
A splash revealing the fly-catching fishes.
Dark gods silently watching.
Tonight flies a better moon.

I guess you've known lovers here, compliant in passion,
Softly laid in the old reed bed, harshly lit in the noon sun.
Tonight flies a better moon.

Now cloaked in this milky light, new as the virgin dawn,
Shrouded sweetly in all kinds of mystery,
You turn, smile, and then are gone.
Tonight flies a better moon.
