New moon, he said—the first

I’ve ever seen through glass:

Well, let us hope the worst

Won’t come to pass.

A wheen new moons I’ve seen,

For I am ninety-three,

And never aught between

The moon and me.

She’s bonnie still, said he,

Though something sharp and cold.

We’ll see what we shall see

When she is old.
