Moon, Stars & Sun

I sat by the fire
the tones from the lyre
they formed a peculiar tune
and words they came to me
as feelings ran through me
they came out a song for the moon
silver and gold
for the young growing old
and the moon was shining for me that night
the moon was shining for me

In Slumberland bowers
I spent the small hours
then woke from my wandering dreams
a stone 'neath my head
and the grass for my bed
in a dale of meandering streams
daylight was due
in an hour or two
and the stars were shining for me that night
the stars were shining for me.

And hours went by
as the lightening sky
foreboded the star of the day
a choir of birds
from the treetops was heard
as the sunbeams drove darkness away
ever so bright
earth was flooded with light
and the sun was shining for me that day
the sun was shining for me.
