Last night you gleamed through my window,
Shining brightly,
Shining true,
I don't think I've ever seen a star
As beautiful as you.
Though I could only see a sliver
Through my wooden window screen,
My heart was still held captive
By your silver celestial beams.
But sleep,
It rose to claim me,
In darkness and in dreams,
Farewell, moon, until next time
Please don't forget about me.
