MOONRISE

MOONRISE

I watch the fair moon climb the skyAnd walk among the stars,As one who walked a garden byAnd met me at the bars—And it was you, dear heart, drew nigh,And he who waited there was I.And I, ere Spring shall set me free,Shall look on many moons;Yea, I shall look on moon and treeAnd live my dreamy Junes—But ev’ry moon that I shall seeA memory of you will be.

I watch the fair moon climb the sky

And walk among the stars,

As one who walked a garden by

And met me at the bars—

And it was you, dear heart, drew nigh,

And he who waited there was I.

And I, ere Spring shall set me free,Shall look on many moons;Yea, I shall look on moon and treeAnd live my dreamy Junes—But ev’ry moon that I shall seeA memory of you will be.

And I, ere Spring shall set me free,

Shall look on many moons;

Yea, I shall look on moon and tree

And live my dreamy Junes—

But ev’ry moon that I shall see

A memory of you will be.
