    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.

And the little fifer hangs his head,
When all is mute the Moorish flute,
And nodding guards watch wearily,
On, then let me,

Fabled of old? Or rather dost thou tread
Those cloudy summits thence to gaze below,
Like the wild chamois from her Alpine snow,
Where hunters never climbed--secure from dread?

Floods the calm fields with light.

The moon is at her full, and riding high,
Floods the calm fields with light.
The airs that hover in the summer sky
Are all asleep to-night.

How like a queen comes forth the lonely Moon
From the slow opening curtains of the clouds
Walking in beauty to her midnight throne!
