What man was in the Moon last night?
Her silver ore lies scattered here!
What time I go, or where I work,
Not even Love knows when or where.
Who hears a voice inside the Wind's,
Has heard a poet chant his verse;
For any jewels in his song,
Look to a Rainbow for their source.
The gold-dust on my leaves of song
Proves where my morning's work was done;
For I'm the man – that spot and speck –
That worked in gold, inside the Sun!
