What’s that in the deep
star embellished sky?
an all-knowing eye
which is a nightly spy,
a constant nightly companion.

Oh doth shines the shimmery orb

Your mysteries perplex and astound me
as you sparkle with silvery light,
bathe the nightshade perfumed earth
beneath your wonderous stare.

Oh doth shines the shimmery orb

Bright-eyed for such a short time
as you wax and wane lazily,
half lid darkness to hide
your strange tendencies to influence
the tide and rhythms of us mortals.

Oh doth shines the shimmery orb

For deep in the star emblazed night sky
the all-knowing eye watches,
most intently over Earth below.
