Ode to the Moon

Are you weary, my moon? 

Are you tired of shining?

The pain shall end so soon, 

Now you'll see a silver lining. 

/

Your ever pearly glow, 

Slowly, surely, paling;

No more tears to sow,

Even as the heart's breaking.

/

Sleep now, my glowing moon,

The sun has come to fetch you;

Here now the dawn comes so soon,

Painting the heavens so blue.

/

For it is among the stars,

Where you truly belong;

For it is the end of wars,

That heralds and sings this song.

/

Don't cry, don't shed a single tear,

As we cannot be together;

Oh my moon, you should not fear,

For this is not our forever.

/

We shall meet my love, once more,

When the tides shall rise and fall;

And the deepest seas shall roar,

You'll shine again for one and all.

/

Sleep now, my glowing moon,

Here now the dawn comes so soon;

You are now among the stars,

For you have ended all thy wars.
