Let’s All Go To The Moon
An old-fashioned poem about a visit to the moon.
We once sang a sweet song
in the merry month of June,
“Oh Come With Me To The
Valley Of The Moon!”
We shall travel about in clothes
of golden sand,
if you will just give me your
precious little hand.
Oh come now,
lets go to the moon!
In those shaded craters
we shall forever swing
from a beautiful hand stitched
hammock that I thought to bring!
Can you come with me to the valley
of the moon?
In the sands of shining gold
we’ll all happily dance,
where only sunbeams
and angels have pranced!
We will sit about
in the cool shade and shadows,
eating manna from the fairies
in the valleys!
Oh please now,
do come to the moon!
Oh…can you see…there..,
my dear child, oh look!
Where the old man’s left eye is,
we will be!
All of us forever merry,
like a portrait in a book!
Oh please now,
lets go to the moon!
Yes you, yes me,
all of us and the whole family,
do come now,
lets go away soon!
