The speaker suggests that the moon should go and light the beauty of the world: intoxicate life with its magical light.

Go spill your beauty on the laughing faces
Of happy flowers that bloom a thousand hues,
Waiting on tiptoe in the wilding spaces,
To drink your wine mixed with sweet drafts of dews.
