Music and moonlight.


We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamer of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams,
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.

the first stanza of Arthur William O'Shaughnessy's Ode; Music and Moonlight.
