First Line: If the moon came from heaven
Last Line: And do not peep by day!'
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina


IF the moon came from heaven,
Talking all the way,
What could she have to tell us,
And what could she say?

'I've seen a hundred pretty things,
And seen a hundred gay;
But only think: I peep by night
And do not peep by day!'
