Great shining orb ascending
Painting clouds with a rosy glow
The flaming light breaks the horizon
Caught in slivers by waves below
Emerging by seconds into the sky
A perfect stone of reflected light
On an ever-changing trajectory
To project the sun into the night
Reflected glory of a greater light
Freely showered on us here
To guide the creatures of the night
And remind us that day is near
While echoing across the waves
In beams so silent and so strong
The moon yet faithfully shines down
To hold our dreams the whole night long
