How different people and different animals look upon the moon showing that each creature finds in it his own mood and disposition	A
	-
	-
The Old Horse in the City	B
	-
The moon's a peck of corn It lies	C
Heaped up for me to eat	D
I wish that I might climb the path	E
And taste that supper sweet	D
	-
Men feed me straw and scanty grain	F
And beat me till I'm sore	G
Some day I'll break the halter rope	H
And smash the stable door	G
	-
Run down the street and mount the hill	I
Just as the corn appears	J
I've seen it rise at certain times	K
For years and years and years	J
	-
	-
What the Hyena Said	L
	-
The moon is but a golden skull	M
She mounts the heavens now	N
And Moon Worms mighty Moon Worms	O
Are wreathed around her brow	N
	-
The Moon Worms are a doughty race	P
They eat her gray and golden face	P
Her eye sockets dead and molding head	L
These caverns are their dwelling place	P
	-
The Moon Worms serpents of the skies	C
From the great hollows of her eyes	C
Behold all souls and they are wise	C
With tiny keen and icy eyes	C
Behold how each man sins and dies	C
	-
When Earth in gold corruption lies	C
Long dead the moon worm butterflies	C
On cyclone wings will reach this place	P
Yea rear their brood on earth's dead face	P
	-
	-
What the Snow Man Said	L
	-
The Moon's a snowball See the drifts	Q
Of white that cross the sphere	R
The Moon's a snowball melted down	S
A dozen times a year	R
	-
Yet rolled again in hot July	T
When all my days are done	A
And cool to greet the weary eye	T
After the scorching sun	A
	-
The moon's a piece of winter fair	U
Renewed the year around	V
Behold it deathless and unstained	W
Above the grimy ground	V
	-
It rolls on high so brave and white	X
Where the clear air rivers flow	Y
Proclaiming Christmas all the time	Z
And the glory of the snow	Y
	-
	-
What the Scare crow Said	L
	-
The dim winged spirits of the night	X
Do fear and serve me well	A2
They creep from out the hedges of	B2
The garden where I dwell	A2
	-
I wave my arms across the walk	C2
The troops obey the sign	D2
And bring me shimmering shadow robes	E2
And cups of cowslip wine	D2
	-
Then dig a treasure called the moon	F2
A very precious thing	G2
And keep it in the air for me	B
Because I am a King	G2
	-
	-
What Grandpa Mouse Said	L
	-
The moon's a holy owl queen	H2
She keeps them in a jar	I2
Under her arm till evening	G2
Then sallies forth to war	G
	-
She pours the owls upon us	J2
They hoot with horrid noise	K2
And eat the naughty mousie girls	L2
And wicked mousie boys	K2
	-
So climb the moonvine every night	X
And to the owl queen pray	M2
Leave good green cheese by moonlit trees	N2
For her to take away	M2
	-
And never squeak my children	A
Nor gnaw the smoke house door	G
The owl queen then will love us	J2
And send her birds no more	G
	-
	-
The Beggar Speaks	O2
	-
What Mister Moon Said to Me	B
	-
Come eat the bread of idleness	J2
Come sit beside the spring	G2
Some of the flowers will keep awake	P2
Some of the birds will sing	G2
	-
Come eat the bread no man has sought	Q2
For half a hundred years	J
Men hurry so they have no griefs	J
Nor even idle tears	J
	-
They hurry so they have no loves	J
They cannot curse nor laugh	R2
Their hearts die in their youth with neither	S2
Grave nor epitaph	R2
	-
My bread would make them careless	J
And never quite on time	Z
Their eyelids would be heavy	B
Their fancies full of rhyme	Z
	-
Each soul a mystic rose tree	B
Or a curious incense tree	B
Come eat the bread of idleness	J
Said Mister Moon to me	B
	-
	-
What the Forester Said	L
	-
The moon is but a candle glow	Y
That flickers thro' the gloom	T2
The starry space a castle hall	U2
And Earth the children's room	T2
Where all night long the old trees stand	V2
To watch the streams asleep	W2
Grandmothers guarding trundle beds	J
Good shepherds guarding sheep	W2
