shine on, harvest moon,

round and round the field I go

rain is coming soon.

full moon standing proud,

yet never more than halfway,

echoes from the sun

Veil of clouds; black, blue

Near full moon peers through darkness

Then hides her round face.

Clouds part, midnight blue;

Moonlight streams shine on water.

Abundant beauty.

Gorgeous yellow moon.

Clear skies, twinkling stars say

"Wait, till the moon's full!"

Moon shining brightly,

Cloud tendrils sweeping it's face.

Another sweet night.

Crisp fingernail moon

Midst whisps of gossamer clouds

Promises of hope
