The Man in the Moon

Is the man in the moon a silversmith who fashions the stars?

And is it true that he pickles them too, and sells them in jars?

And when he smiles on a clear, warm night,

is he crying his wares?

And when the clouds all smother him up,

is he saying his prayers?

Oh, I wonder, is it true?

That the man in the moon is a silversmith

who fashions the stars?

And is it true that he pickles them too, and sells them in jars?

Oh, I wonder, is it true?
