Ah′ Moon – and Star!
You are very far –
But were no one
Farther than you –
Do you think I′d stop
For a Firmament –
Or a Cubit – or so?
You are very far –
But were no one
Farther than you –
Do you think I′d stop
For a Firmament –
Or a Cubit – or so?
I could borrow a Bonnet
Of the Lark –
And a Chamois ′ silver
Boot –
And a stirrup of an
Antelope –
And be with you – tonight!
But′ Moon′ and Star′
Though you′re very far –
There is one – farther than you –
He – is more than a firma-
ment – from me –
¦
So I can never go!
Just so – Christ – raps –
He – does’nt weary –
First at the Knocker –
And then – at the Bell –
Then – on Divinest tiptoe
standing –
Might he but spy the
hiding soul!
When he – retires –
Chilled – or weary –
It will be ample time
for me –
Patient – opon the steps – ↑ mat ↓
until then –
Heart – I am knocking
low
At thee!
