    If the moon shine at full or no;
    That would, as soon as e'er she shone straight,
    Whether 'twere day or night demonstrate;
    Tell what her d'ameter to an inch is,
    And prove that she's not made of green cheese.

On the road, the lonely road,
Under the cold, white moon;
Under the rugged trees he strode,
Whistled and shifted his heavy load--
Whistled a foolish tune.

The moon dips, like a pearly barge;
Enchantment sails through magic seas,
To fairland Hesperides,
Over the hills and away.

That melted soon in the deep moon-rise
That flowed over Groton Height.

The devil's in the moon for mischief; they
Who call'd her chaste, methinks, began too soon

Sees half the business in a wicked way,
On which three single hours of moonshine smile--
And then she looks so modest all the while!
