One day the Moon cried

For he was sad inside

When the Sun asked him why

he said,

"Well, I'm going away to die."

Then the Sun began to say,

"It's only for the day.."

But the Moon continued to weep

And the Sun stayed up for weeks,

then finally gave into her sleep,

and then it was dark.

The Moon awoke the very next day,

with the Sun he wanted to play.

He found it was his turn

but he'd lost the yearn

to shine.

So alone he dined,

and he cried to the stars:

"Oh, bring back Sun,

without Her it's no fun."

But the stars remained,

And so Moon remained

And so it stayed night,

For the world

had lost its light.

And then it was dark.
