First you see the moon
It already hit the sky
It slid behind the sun
To abide until its time
To croon its tune
A chorus with the moon
As the stars sing behind.

After the stars sing you to sleep
The moon begins its duty
For at night the moon is like the judge
The many stars its jury
To unmask the shadows’ cruel deceits
Beneath the weeping willow trees.

Then the Moon becomes a shield
Against the shadows’ fury
For without the moon
The shadows can skulk
And not have fear or worry
But the moon’s shining beams
Finds them out and make their edges blurry.

But for a couple of days each month
It does not get out of bed
For its repose is truly deserved
But where will it rest its head?
Sometimes like a fish beneath the sea
Or it may sleep behind the hills beneath a swaying tree

But wherever it sleeps
It can rest in peace
For it shines again for all to see.
