The Lighting

The lighting, it was over-bright,   
As seasoned stars excelled in glow, 
Mute moon was fully charged for night,  
The lighting, it was over-bright.   
Moonbeams dressed in silver and white,   
Swayed on the sea waves high and low,  
The lighting, it was over-bright,  
As seasoned stars excelled in glow. 


eight syllables in each line, 
sixth line's last word must rhyme with the second line's last word.
