    Lend me thy pen
    To write a word
    In the moonlight.
    Pierrot, my friend!
    My candle's out,
    I've no more fire;--
    For love of God
    Open thy door!
    [Fr., Au clair de la lune
    Mon ami Pierrot,
    Prete moi ta plume
    Pour ecrire un mot;
    Ma chandelle est morte,
    Je n'ai plus de feu,
    Ouvre moi ta porte,
    Pour l'amour de Dieu.]

The moving moon went up to the sky,
And nowhere did abide;
Softly she was going up,
And a star or two beside.

The moon, the moon, so silver and cold,
Her fickle temper has oft been told,
Now shade--now bright and sunny--
But of all the lunar things that change,
The one that shows most fickle and strange,
And takes the most eccentric range,
Is the moon--so called--of honey!

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

The devil's in the moon for mischief; they
Who call'd her chaste, methinks, began too soon
Their nomenclature; there is not a day,
The longest, not the twenty-first of June,
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!

The stars were glittering in the heaven's dusk meadows,
Far west, among those flowers of the shadows,
The thin, clear crescent lustrous over her,
Made Ruth raise question, looking through the bars
Of heaven, with eyes half-oped, what God, what comer
Unto the harvest of the eternal summer,
Had flung his golden hook down on the field of stars.
