First Line: The moon comes every night to peep
Last Line: -- and she never makes a sound!
Subject(s): Moon
The Moon comes every night to peep
Through the window where I lie:
But I pretend to be asleep;
And watch the Moon go slowly by,
-- And she never makes a sound!
She stands and stares! And then she goes
To the house that's next to me,
Stealing by on tippy-toes;
To peep at folk asleep maybe
-- And she never makes a sound!
