Moon Poems and Lullabies

To my baby: singing, humming, reading to you with love..

Child Moon

The child's wonder At the old moon Comes back nightly. She points her finger To the far silent yellow thing Shining through the branches Filtering on the leaves a golden sand, Crying with her little tongue, "See the moon!" And in her bed fading to sleep With babblings of the moon on her little mouth.

- Carl Sandburg

The Moon

Thy beauty haunts me heart and soul, Oh, thou fair Moon, so close and bright; Thy beauty makes me like the child That cries aloud to own thy light: The little child that lifts each arm To press thee to her bosom warm. Though there are birds that sing this night With thy white beams across their throats, Let my deep silence speak for me More than for them their sweetest notes: Who worships thee till music fails, Is greater than thy nightingales.

-William Henry Davies

Tale Of The Sun And Moon

I See The Moon..

I see the moon And the moon sees me, And the moon sees the one that I long to see. So God bless the moon, And God bless me, And God bless the one that I long to see. It seems to me that God above Created you for me to love. I once had a heart, Called mine you see But now it has gone From me to you. So take good care As I have done. For you have two, And I have none. I see the moon, And the moon sees me, And the moon sees the one that I long to see. So God bless the moon, And God bless me, And God bless the one that I long to see.
