Who am I that shine so bright,With my pretty yellow light,Peeping through your curtains grey?Tell me, little child, I pray.When the sun is gone I riseIn the very silent skies;And a cloud or two doth skimRound about my silver rim.All the little stars do seemHidden by my brighter beam,And among them I do ride,Like a queen in all her pride.Little child, consider wellWho this simple tale doth tell;And I think you’ll guess it soon,For I only am the Moon.

Who am I that shine so bright,

With my pretty yellow light,

Peeping through your curtains grey?

Tell me, little child, I pray.

When the sun is gone I riseIn the very silent skies;And a cloud or two doth skimRound about my silver rim.

When the sun is gone I rise

In the very silent skies;

And a cloud or two doth skim

Round about my silver rim.

All the little stars do seemHidden by my brighter beam,And among them I do ride,Like a queen in all her pride.

All the little stars do seem

Hidden by my brighter beam,

And among them I do ride,

Like a queen in all her pride.

Little child, consider wellWho this simple tale doth tell;And I think you’ll guess it soon,For I only am the Moon.

Little child, consider well

Who this simple tale doth tell;

And I think you’ll guess it soon,

For I only am the Moon.
