Though the night was made for loving,
And the day returns too soon,
Yet we'll go no more a roving
By the light of the moon.

St. 3

So, we'll go no more a roving
So late into the night,
Though the heart be still as loving,
And the moon be still as bright.

 
Lord Byron
 

Lady Moon, Lady Moon, where are you roving?
Over the sea.
Lady Moon, Lady Moon, whom are you loving?
All that love me!

 
Richard Monckton Milnes Houghton
 

Seeing the moon, he becomes the moon, the moon seen by him becomes him. He sinks into nature, becomes one with nature. The light of the "clear heart" of the priest, seated in the meditation hall in the darkness before the dawn, becomes for the dawn moon its own light.

 
Yasunari Kawabata
 

I make known unto thee how He hath provided for the bodily health of us all, by having produced ?sculapius, the Preserver of the universe; and how he hath communicated to us virtue of every kind, by sending down Aphrodite in company with Athene for our guardian; having made it all but a law that no one should use copulation except for the end of generating his like. For this reason truly, according to his revolutions and seasons, do the various vegetable and animal races feel themselves stirred towards the generation of their kind. What need is there to magnify the glory of his rays, and of his light? A night without moon, and without stars, how terrible is it! Let anyone reflect on this, in order that he may estimate how great a blessing is the light we derive from the Sun!

 
Julian (Emperor)
 

Oh, Mexico.
It sounds so sweet with the sun sinking low.
Moon's so bright like to light up the night,
Make everything all right.
