THE MOON

There’s a throne in the east and a throne in the west,And the royal heavens lie between.For the golden sun is a sceptred king,And the moon is his crownéd queen.A lonely queen is the silver moon,Though the dimpling stars her maidens are;She passes among them silentlyAs she follows her lord afar.—Edith Colby Banfield.

There’s a throne in the east and a throne in the west,

And the royal heavens lie between.

For the golden sun is a sceptred king,

And the moon is his crownéd queen.

A lonely queen is the silver moon,

Though the dimpling stars her maidens are;

She passes among them silently

As she follows her lord afar.
