Said the Wind to the Moon I will blow you out	A
You stare	B
In the air	B
As if crying Beware	B
Always looking what I am about	A
I hate to be watched I will blow you out	A
	-
The Wind blew hard and out went the Moon	C
So deep	D
On a heap	D
Of clouds to sleep	D
Down lay the Wind and slumbered soon	C
Muttering low I've done for that Moon	C
	-
He turned in his bed she was there again	E
On high	F
In the sky	F
With her one ghost eye	F
The Moon shone white and alive and plain	G
Said the Wind I will blow you out again	E
	-
The Wind blew hard and the Moon grew slim	H
With my sledge	I
And my wedge	I
I have knocked off her edge	I
I will blow said the Wind right fierce and grim	H
And the creature will soon be slimmer than slim	H
	-
He blew and he blew and she thinned to a thread	J
One puff	K
More's enough	K
To blow her to snuff	K
One good puff more where the last was bred	J
And glimmer glimmer glum will go that thread	J
	-
He blew a great blast and the thread was gone	L
In the air	B
Nowhere	B
Was a moonbeam bare	B
Larger and nearer the shy stars shone	M
Sure and certain the Moon was gone	L
	-
The Wind he took to his revels once more	N
On down	O
And in town	O
A merry mad clown	O
He leaped and holloed with whistle and roar	N
When there was that glimmering thread once more	N
	-
He flew in a rage he danced and blew	P
But in vain	G
Was the pain	G
Of his bursting brain	G
For still the Moon scrap the broader grew	P
The more that he swelled his big cheeks and blew	P
	-
Slowly she grew till she filled the night	Q
And shone	M
On her throne	M
In the sky alone	M
A matchless wonderful silvery light	Q
Radiant and lovely the queen of the night	Q
	-
Said the Wind What a marvel of power am I	F
With my breath	R
In good faith	S
I blew her to death	R
First blew her away right out of the sky	F
Then blew her in what a strength am I	F
	-
But the Moon she knew nought of the silly affair	B
For high	F
In the sky	F
With her one white eye	F
Motionless miles above the air	B
She never had heard the great Wind blare	B
