Ah, Moon, and Star!You are very far - But were no one Farther than you - Do you think I'd stopFor 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 firma - mentfirmament - from me -So I can never go!
