THREE BABY VERSES: 2 by PERCY STICKNEY GRANT

First Line: THE MOON SHINES SO BRIGHT
Last Line: "AND DREAM NOR SEE NIGHT PALE."
Subject(s): MOON;
The moon shines so bright,
The stars have ta'en flight
For the little stars say,
"Why 'tis bright as the day;
Let us off and away.
The earth will not miss us,
Love's kisses delicious,
Tonight will not kiss us.
To the moon is each vow,
By the moon all will trow,
To us none will bow.
Let us cover our eyes;
Let us sail o'er the skies, --
And sail and sail and sail,
And dream, nor hear earth's wail;
And dream nor see night pale."
