Shine, pale moon

O Pale Moon so far above

Shining down on those I love

Over the wide world you rose

Viewing four reflections in the streams

Sending to the sad forgetful dreams

O Moon, will you shine I pray

on a land so far away

In the house where once I lay

And Moon, will you kiss his silken hair

And give him sleep if he's sleepless there?

O Pale Moon, until I die

I will see thee in the sky

A friend, when friendless am I

And Moon, some day I'll be there with thee

When I've fathomed this world's mystery
