Has the Moon a Lover
Has the moon perchance a lover,
Could that be her cause to glow?
Or does she dream of brighter days?
I do lately wonder so.
For once upon a time, you see,
She brought solace to my soul—
She did comfort and enlighten me;
She dried my tears, and all.
And yet she shines for all the world,
As she mitigates the night—
Such a selfless and devoted one,
As she shares both hope and light.
And so it is I owe a debt,
For one so kind as she.
What gives the moon her cause to glow—
A lover, possibly?
Too busy making less of night,
She will likely always be!
