A Less Known Romance
When he comes home smiling, moon blooms,
With stars, her darling kids,
Yet when he far does roam, she glooms.
She furls her wings and burns her ends;
Without his love, she shrinks;
She bends, and bends; her gloom extends.
Wearing sadly a thick black shawl,
Abandoning her choir,
She bemoans, and him she does call.
On hearing her plea, home he comes,
Brighter moon does bloom, and
Merrily with him, songs she hums.
