The moon comes every night to peep Through the window where I lie, And I pretend to be asleep ; But I watch the moon as it goes by, And it never makes a sound. It stands and stares, and then it goes To the house that's next to me, Stealing on its tippy-toes, To peep at folk asleep maybe ; And it never makes a sound.
