SUPERLATIVE, by                    
First Line: The sun one day said to the moon
Last Line: "but the stars no man may count!"
Subject(s): Moon; Stars; Sun


The sun one day said to the moon,
"You borrow of my ray
So you may in your glory shine
When I am far away!"

The moon said to the little stars,
"I'm queen of all the night;
Your twinkling lights can only gleam
When I pass out of sight!"

The stars said to the sun and moon,
"You rule the night and day,
But we are not forgotten tho'
We seem so far away:

Together what a mighty host,
And of no small amount;
Remember there's one sun and moon
But the stars no man may count!"
