Anne P. Murray Poet Lyric

Cajun Moon

Out of the Omicron Ceti 
The Mira shines bright in the sky
Waiting for a warm afternoon
Where old men go fishing
With nothing a string and a limb

Waiting for the setting of the moon
With four loaves of bread
Three jars of strawberry jam
Sweet lemonade and a spoon

Crested waves curl the foam 
Along the jagged rocks
All the boys in their boats
Call to the girls on the shore
Laying out in the warm, summer sun

Out in the Bayou all the people are kind
While the boys find the girls they adore
They dance in the night to wild, Cajun songs
While bonfires burn bright in the night

Can you think of a more fitting place
In all this world where you really belong
Then to dance with the stars burning bright
Underneath that old Cajun moon!
