THE MOON
Whathave you not seen,Old White-face, looking downSince the heavens were hollowed outAnd winds were blown?You saw white HelenOn the walls of Troy Town,You silvered dew on the ruinWhen Troy shook down.Ulysses you sawAnd the strange seas that bore him;But all he wandered to seeYou had seen before him.Bodies black and yellow,Gold tresses and brown,The brown earth covers them ...And you look down.

Whathave you not seen,
Old White-face, looking down
Since the heavens were hollowed out
And winds were blown?
You saw white HelenOn the walls of Troy Town,You silvered dew on the ruinWhen Troy shook down.
You saw white Helen
On the walls of Troy Town,
You silvered dew on the ruin
When Troy shook down.
Ulysses you sawAnd the strange seas that bore him;But all he wandered to seeYou had seen before him.
Ulysses you saw
And the strange seas that bore him;
But all he wandered to see
You had seen before him.
Bodies black and yellow,Gold tresses and brown,The brown earth covers them ...And you look down.
Bodies black and yellow,
Gold tresses and brown,
The brown earth covers them ...
And you look down.
