MOON.


The Moon is sailing o'er the sky,
    But lonely all, as if she pined
For somewhat of companionship,
    And felt it was in vain she shined:

Earth is her mirror, and the stars
    Are as the court around her throne;
She is a beauty and a queen;
    But what is this? she is alone.

Is there not one—not one—to share
    Thy glorious royalty on high?
