MR. MOON
Bliss Carman
O Moon, Mr. Moon,
When you comin’ down?
Down on the hilltop,
Down in the glen.
Out in the clearin’,
To play with little men?
Moon, Mr. Moon,
When you comin’ down?
O Mr. Moon,
Hurry up your stumps!
Don’t you hear Bullfrog
Callin’ to his wife,
And old black Cricket
A-wheezin’ at his fife?
Hurry up your stumps.
And get on your pumps!
Moon, Mr. Moon,
When you comin’ down?
O Mr. Moon,
Hurry up along!
The reeds in the current
Are whisperin’ slow;
The river’s a-wimplin’
To and fro.
Hurry up along.
Or you’ll miss the song!
Moon, Mr. Moon,
When you comin’ down?
O Mr. Moon,
We ‘re all here!
Honey-bug, Thistledrift,
White-imp, Weird,
Wryface, Billiken,
Quidnunc, Queered;
We ‘re all here.
And the coast is clear!
Moon, Mr. Moon,
When you comin’ down?
O Mr. Moon,
There’s not much time!
Hurry, if you ‘re comin’.
You lazy old bones!
You can sleep to-morrow
While the Buzbuz drones;
There ‘s not much time
Till the church bells chime.
Moon, Mr. Moon,
When you comin’ down?
O Mr. Moon,
When you comin’ down?
Down where the Good Folk
Dance in a ring,
Down where the Little Folk
Sing?
Moon, Mr. Moon,
When you comin’ down?
