The Moon
Note from Priscilla: "From A Child's Garden of Verse. The melody came to me when I was seven months pregnant with my daughter. I'd like to think we wrote it together. It's one of the first songs Suzanna learned." Lyrics: The moon has a face like the clock in the hall. She shines on thieves on the garden wall On streets and fields and harbor quays And birdies asleep in the forks of the trees. *But all of the things that belong to the day Cuddle to sleep to be out of the way; Flowers and children close their eyes Till up in the morning the sun shall arise The squalling cat and the squeaking mouse, The howling dog by the door of the house, The bat that lies in bed at noon, All love to be out by the light of the moon.
