The Moon.
MUSIC COMPOSED FOR MERRY’S MUSEUM, BY GEORGE J. WEBB.
Who am I that shine so bright,
With my pretty yellow light,
Peeping through your curtains grey?
Tell me, little child, I pray.
When the sun is gone I rise
In the very silent skies;
And a cloud or two doth skim
Round about my silver rim.
All the little stars do seem
Hidden by my brighter beam,
And among them I do ride,
Like a queen in all her pride.
Little child, consider well
Who this simple tale doth tell;
And I think you’ll guess it soon,
For I only am the Moon.
