Through the dark silhouette of the trees
When the crows sleep;
Through the meshed up windows of my abode
Against the deep purple sea of a sky
I see you
The silver globe!
Shining and standing
In glory and quaintness
You give hope and warmth
Light in the dark breezy night
Night after night
As you are slowly shadowed
Loosing form and function
The world is swallowed in darkness
And the night of the new moon
Where you are nowhere to be seen
Is all hope lost?
Is there no solace then?
You show yourself again
Just as slowly
Growing and becoming fuller
To shine full again
Just as before
Humanity learns its lessons from you
Oh great silver moon!
Shine forth, and we know
That what shall grow shall wither away
And that which fades will glow again someday!
