A View of Dresden by Moonlight

A view of Dresden By Moonlight
 ~Johan Christian Dahl, 1839

Does Luna hold secrets,
does she hold mine;
does she hold regrets,
or to memory consign?

Steadfast she still climbs
though space and time
always keeping the rhyme
of an ancient design.

Water below reflects light 
in celestial duet,
      without music 
      without pain.
