The Sun, the beloved of the Moon

Would flare his majesty in pinning anguish

His love could never be his

For fate had mockingly told them so


His anguished voice answered

For he knew the Stars would hear and speak

"If I were to rove the Dawn and Dusk unveiled

More likely than not she would burn."


Alas, the Moon listened in silence

Her heart calling out, knowing that only he could hear

She a cold maiden of the night

Could never speak nor see her love in full


"But I would burn if only I could see my lover!

Even if it were only for a moment!"

Thought she in her quiet realm, watching the night

"A thousand times I would burn for one true minute!"
