She Gathers Apples Under The Moon
A Villanelle

Introduction
The image is borrowed from "The Enchanted Booklet" here
I thought this would provide the inspiration for a Moon villanelle for my wonderful Muse.
The music is "Selene" by Gong, the video stars halfway through to cut of "Tropical Fish"

Wandering The Orchard Of The Night
She Gathers Apples Under The Moon

Fills Her Basket With The Ripest Fruit
She Is Selene, Lover Of Moonlight

From The Tree She Plucks Exotics Too
Her Harvest Is A Wonderful Sight
She Gathers Apples Under The Moon

Before Sunrise She Is Gone Too Soon
In Her Long Flowing Robe, Gold Samite
See The Beautiful Rose Gold Maiden

Each Night She Returns, This Maiden True
To Pick Her Fruit, So Tender And Ripe
She Gathers Apples Under The Moon

As Night Fades The Black Sky Turns To Blue
Selene Must Leave As The Sun Does Rise
See The Beautiful Rose Gold Maiden
She Gathers Apples Under The Moon
