The Skater of Ghost Lake
by William Rose Benet


Dance of the dim moon, a rhythmical reel,

A swaying, a swift tune—skurr of the steel;

Moon for a candle, maid for a mate,

Jeremy Randall skates, skates late.

upbeat

The rhythmical words ("dance," "rhythmical reel," "swaying," "swift tune") and the lively action of skating create a brisk, lively mood.
