Ad lunam

Language: Latin

 Luna, quae vaga vertici
 montis et tacitis casis
 immines et anhelitu
 lucidos legis amnis,

 te canam miseris piam,
 Luna, nam simul occidit
 Sol et aurea cum die
 Spes hinc avolat omnis,

 non eam sinis exulem
 tunc abire, sed excipis
 candido trepidam sinu
 vestis, Luna, vietae;

 induis trepidae tuum
 lumen, atque silentiis
 roscidis madidam tuis
 huc Spem, Luna, remittis;

 facta quae leve Somnium
 clausas ingreditur domos,
 exilisque, ope qua solet,
 dormientibus adstat.
