Our Moon

I heard the echo through the window
I swear I heard the echo myself through the window
Last night when our moon appeared
She fully showed with gleaming smile
Leaves were singing and swaying with glee:
Beautiful, beautiful our moon is
No sleep now nor rest
Once a month she comes out:
She lights the dark and shines like a diamond
Stupendous gleam and
Smiles like the day.

Animals Sung howl and louder:
Beautiful, beautiful our moon is;
No sleep now nor rest
Once a month she comes out
She lights the dark and shines like a diamond,
Stupendous gleam and
Smiles like the day;
She counts the month and
Also counts the year for us to know.
Beautiful, beautiful our moon is
We rejoice, and rejoice whenever she shows


Beautiful, beautiful our moon is
Beautiful, beautiful our moon is
Beautiful, beautiful our moon is...

This is lovely and idyllic, Afolabi. The moon is graced with beauty and like a diamond she sparkles in the night. At the sight of her I rejoice with you. // paul
