One night as Dick lay half asleep, br Into his drowsy eyes br A great still light began to creep br From out the silent skies. br It was the lovely moon's, for when br He raised his dreamy head, br Her surge of silver filled the pane br And streamed across his bed. br So, for a while, each gazed at each -- br Dick and the solemn moon -- br Till, climbing slowly on her way, br She vanished, and was gone.
