THE MAN IN THE MOON by Edith E Millard 1832 -
1891
The Man in
the Moon is a friend of mine, He comes when the
stars begin to shine: I fancy he lights them,
one by one, And never rests till his work is
done.
Sometimes I do not see him at
all, And I think, most likely, he has to
call And shout for the stars that would rather
try To play hide and seek in the big blue
skies.
The other night, to my great
surprise, The Man in the Moon had tears in his
eyes; He looked so sad and his mouth drooped
down, And he gave me the most tremendous
frown!
"Poor Man in the Moon, I am sorry!" I
said, "Have you lost some stars?" but he shook
his head; He could not tell me what was
amiss, So I waved my hand and threw him a
kiss.
For more than a week there was rain or
snow, And the wind was very angry- I heard it
blow; But the Man in the Moon I could not
see, The dark clouds hid him away from
me.
Last night he peeped through the window
pane, I declare I hardly knew him again! I
tried to sketch him for Nurse to see, A jollier
face there never could be. His eyes were smiling
at me like this, And all because I threw him a
kiss!
