| The Moon |
|
| The moon has a face like the clock in the hall;
|
|
|
She shines on thieves on the garden wall, On streets and fields and harbour quays, And birdies asleep in the forks of the trees. |
|
The squalling cat and the squeaking mouse,
|
|
|
The howling dog by the door of the house, The bat that lies in bed at noon, All love to be out by the light of the moon. |
|
But all of the things that belong to the day
|
|
Cuddle to sleep to be out of her way; And flowers and children close their eyes Till up in the morning the sun shall arise. |
|
