 Moonlight on
Manila Bay
by Fernando M. Maramag

1.A light serene, ethereal

glory rests
2.Its beams effulgent on
each cresting wave;
 3.The silver touches of
the moonlight wave
4.The deep bare bosom
that the breeze molests;
5.While lingering
whispers deepen as the
wavy crests
 6.Roll with weird rhythm,
now gay, now gently grave;
7.And floods of lambent
light appear the sea to
pave
8.All cast a spell that heeds
not time’s behests.
 9.Not always such the
scene: the din of fight
10.Has swelled the murmur
of the peaceful air;
11.Here East and West
have oft displayed their
might;
 12. Dark battle clouds
have dimmed this scene
so fair;
13. Here bold Olympia,
one historic night
14. Presaging freedom,
claimed a people’s care.
