Away in the sky, high over our heads,

With the width of a world between,

The far Moon sails like a shining ship

Which the Dreamer's eyes have seen.

And empty hands are outstretched, in vain,

While aching eyes beseech,

And hearts may break that cry for the Moon,

The silver Moon out of reach!

But sometimes God on His great white Throne

Looks down from the Heaven above,

And lays in the hands that are empty

The tremulous Star of Love.
