Ah, Moon -- and Star!

Ah, Moon -- and Star! You are very far -- But were no one Farther than you -- Do you think I'd stop For a Firmament -- Or a Cubit -- or so?

I could borrow a Bonnet Of the Lark -- And a Chamois' Silver Boot -- And a stirrup of an Antelope -- And be with you -- Tonight!

But, Moon, and Star, Though you're very far -- There is one -- farther than you -- He -- is more than a firmament -- from Me -- So I can never go!
