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!
