MOON-WORSHIP by EDWIN FORD PIPER

First Line: I HEAR THEM SINGING IN THE OPEN SPACES
Last Line: THE WORSHIP OF THE MOON.
Subject(s): MOON;

I hear them singing in the open spaces
The old, old rites, the music of the moon;
The rougher and the sweeter voices blending
To lift the joyous tune.

I see them dancing in the open spaces
As moonlit nights grow long;
Clasped hands and circling steps and charmed faces,
And witchery of song.

A harmony of hearts to rule the singing
As loud and low they croon;
I see them dancing in the open spaces
The worship of the moon.
