He and She

1. As the moon sidles up
   Must she sidle up,
   As trips the scared moon

   ---

   p.287

   Away must she trip:
   'His light had struck me blind
   Dared I stop'.
2. She sings as the moon sings:
   'I am I, am I;
   The greater grows my light
   The further that I fly.'
   All creation shivers
   With that sweet cry.
