The Man in the Moon.
"Quite alone! quite alone"
Whispered the lovers 'neath the trees,
He calls her his pet and his ownest own,
And they think that nobody sees!
But I am there! I am there!
He kisses the blush on her cheek so fair -
Taking in all quiet and sly;
And so, by the way do I.
What I see - what I see -
I tell you is awfully nice,
When the summer zephyrs are whispering free,
Or in winter's snow and ice.
But I won't tell! I won't tell! -
I'm an awfully good old man, and - well,
I sympathize in their joys;
I won't go back on the boys!
