« All quotes from this author
 

Meet me by moonlight alone,
And then I will tell you a tale
Must be told by the moonlight alone,
In the grove at the end of the vale!
You must promise to come, for I said
I would show the night-flowers their queen.
Nay, turn not away that sweet head,
'T is the loveliest ever was seen.
--
Meet me by Moonlight, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).

One kiss, my bonny sweetheart; I'm after a prize tonight,
But I shall be back with the yellow gold before the morning light.
Yet if they press me sharply, and harry me through the day,
Then look for me by moonlight,
Watch for me by moonlight,
I'll come to thee by moonlight, though hell should bar the way.

 
Alfred Noyes
 

I know that as night and shadows are good for flowers, and moonlight and dews are better than a continual sun, so is Christ's absence of special use, and that it hath some nourishing virtue in it, and giveth sap to humility, and putteth an edge on hunger, and furnisheth a fair field for faith to put forth itself.

 
Samuel Rutherford
 

Music is the moonlight in the gloomy night of life.

 
Jean Paul
 

Watching for a spark
It's a moonlight show
Reaching through the dark
Do you have to go?

 
Mike Oldfield
 

A dreamer of pictures
I run in the night.
You see us together,
Chasing the moonlight,
My cinnamon girl.

 
Neil Young
