"Moons old and new," he cried;

I hurried when I heard him call for me;

He set his basket on the wall for me

That I might see inside

And watch the little moons curl up and hide.

Each one he touched rang softly like a bell;

He pointed out to me

Great harvest moons with russet light in them,

Pale moons to gleam where snows grow white in them,

Red moons for victory,
