5. Moonbright, Treelight
The moon as bright as silver light
On snow so cold
Shines shimmering
A welcome thrill in winter's chill
Crisp crystalline
Gleams glistening
The moon in wise and widened eyes
Brings branching beams: moon-tree he seems
Telperion by Sirion
Sails shy in sky
Light lingering
My memory of sacred tree's
High hallowed hill
Flits flickering
Lost silver leaf with withered grief
Still lives within its moon-made twin
