LADY MOON

Time—Evening
Place—Garden
Characters—Lady Moon, Child

Child. Lady Moon, Lady Moon,
Where are you roving?

Lady Moon. Over the sea.

Child. Lady Moon, Lady Moon,
Whom are you loving?

Lady Moon. All that love me.

Child. Are you not tired with rolling and never
Resting to sleep?
Why look so pale and so sad, as
Forever wishing to sleep?

Lady Moon. Ask me not this, little child, if you love me.
You are too bold.
I must obey my dear Father above me
And do as I’m told.

Child. Lady Moon, Lady Moon,
Where are you roving?

Lady Moon. Over the sea.

Child. Lady Moon, Lady Moon,
Whom are you loving?

Lady Moon. All that love me.

—Lord Houghton.
