Ah, Moon - and Star!
You are very far -
But were no one Farther than you -
Do you think I'd stop
For as Firmament - Or a Cubit - or so?

I could borrow a Bonnet
Of a Lark -
And a Chamois' Silver Boot
And a stirrup of an Antelope -
And be with you - Tonight!

But, Moon and Star
Though you're very far - There is one - farther than you -
He - is more than a Firmament - from Me
So I can never go!
