Does she feel lonely in the peopled sky,

The only moon among a starry host;

They all together in brave company,

She wandering solitary as a ghost?

Or does she grieve that we so soon forget

The perfect beauty of her tempered ray,

Drowsily praising her sweet beams, but yet

Keeping our real joyance for the day?

Poor, pallid moon, with a reproachful face

She eyes the humming world as on it moves,
