Ah, Moonand Star!

240

Ah, Moon?and Star!
You are very far?
But were no one
Farther than you?
Do you think I'd stop
For a Firmament?
Or a Cubit?or so?

I could borrow a Bonnet
Of the Lark?
And a Chamois' Silver Boot?
And a stirrup of an Antelope?
And be with you?Tonight!

But, Moon, and Star,
Though you're very far?
There is one?farther than you?
He?is more than a firmament?from Me?
So I can never go!
