The Irish writer claims that the night will surely decorate its canvass in the future with a pattern consisting of star glitter, which is characterized by ripples. According to the author, this will happen in the grounds of that garden where a young girl, whose name is unknown, is picking moon grass.

Joyce writes that a glimmer of dew can be seen on the hair of the aforementioned member of the fair sex. In addition, he says that the satellite of our planet kisses her eyelids. The author shares with the reader that the beauty sings a song during the class. She calls the moon beautiful and compares it to a wave.

The Irish writer does not know how to wax his ears so that the girl’s voice will stop sounding in his heart. Joyce confesses that he no longer wants to listen to the music she plays. The author believes that the latter is very much like a witch’s tune.
