LADY MOON
Lady Moon, Lady Moon, where are you roving? Over the sea. Lady Moon, Lady Moon, whom are you loving? All that love me. Are you not tired with roving, and never Resting to sleep? Why look so pale and so sad. as for ever Wishing to weep? Ask me not this, little child, if you love me; You are too bold. I must obey my dear Father above me, And do as I’m told. Lady Moon, Lady Moon, where are you roving? Over the sea. Lady Moon, Lady Moon, whom are you loving? All that love me. —LORD HOUGHTON. QUERIES Why does a horse scrape the ground with his forefeet? Because in the cold lands where he lived ever so long ago this is how he used to dig out food from under the snow. Why does the dog turn round and round before lying down in his bed? Because his ancestors made their beds in long grass, and turned round and round to flatten them down nicely. Why does the dog gobble his food quickly, but the cat eats hers slowly and daintily? Because the dog used to hunt in packs, and if he did not gobble quickly some other dog would get his food. But the cat always walked by herself, and had plenty of time to eat slowly.
