She Gathers Apples Under The Moon

A Villanelle

By Mike Singleton πŸ’œ Mikeydred Published 7 months ago β€’ Updated 7 months ago β€’ 1 min read
Wonder Tales from Many Lands by Katharine Pyle, 1911

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"

She Gathers Apples Under The Moon

See The Beautiful Rose Gold Maiden

Wandering The Orchard Of The Night

She Gathers Apples Under The Moon

πŸŒœβ™ŽπŸ’œβ™‰πŸŒ›

Fills Her Basket With The Ripest Fruit

She Is Selene, Lover Of Moonlight

See The Beautiful Rose Gold Maiden

From The Tree She Plucks Exotics Too

Her Harvest Is A Wonderful Sight

She Gathers Apples Under The Moon

πŸŒœβ™ŽπŸ’œβ™‰πŸŒ›

Before Sunrise She Is Gone Too Soon

In Her Long Flowing Robe, Gold Samite

See The Beautiful Rose Gold Maiden

πŸŒœβ™ŽπŸ’œβ™‰πŸŒ›

Each Night She Returns, This Maiden True

To Pick Her Fruit, So Tender And Ripe

She Gathers Apples Under The Moon

πŸŒœβ™ŽπŸ’œβ™‰πŸŒ›

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
