Moon of Peace
Alice Corbin
1881 to 1949
Lap me in scented waters, moon of peace,
In silver waters flowing under the moon,
For now the water-bearer's pouring flood
Pours rivers of silver peace under the moon.
The dragon is killed, the archer's arrow sped,
The bearded goat has trampled out the wine,
And now the water-bearer's pouring flood
Pours rivers of silver peace and silver wine.
Alice Corbin's Moon of Peace
I am busy working to bring Alice Corbin's "Moon of Peace" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Alice Corbin's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Moon of Peace" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
