The Moon The thing in which I most delight, Is looking at the moon so bright. I sit and gaze and wonder Why It simply wanders through the sky. It is so big, and bright, and round, A lovelier thing cannot be found, And sending forth its gleaming light, It makes the earth seem day by night. Just Why it hangs and does not fall, I really cannot tell at all, But yet it stays up in the blue, And shines so bright for me and you, Who is the man who stays up there, So high above the earth and air? Since he's the only one We see He surely must its pilot be. He keeps a calm and steady face, As he sails proudly on through space. Of all the folks I know below, I think no one interests me so.
