Dear All,
I have a question about the meaning of よに in the lyrics below. The lyrics are from a song called "そんな空には踊る馬".
青い天井がめくれて 私はうかんだ
生まれたばかりの三日月が まわる
よに ほほえむ
ああ 私は夢をみてる

What I am confused with is that since ように and よに can be the same sometimes (According to 大辞林:
https://kotobank.jp/word/%E3%82%88%E3%81%AB-406383), I cannot tell if the よに here is a noun or an adverb. I would be very appreciative of any help. Thank you very much for the reply.
Best,
Karaage
P.S. My first language is not English, so if I make any mistakes, please feel free to point it/them out. Thank you.
