Crescent Moon

Elizabeth Madox Roberts

From “Under the Tree”

AND Dick said, “Look what I have found!”

And when we saw we danced around,

And made our feet just tip the ground.

We skipped our toes and sang, “Oh-lo!

Oh-who, oh-who, oh what do you know!

Oh-who, oh-hi, oh-loo, kee-lo!”

We clapped our hands and sang, “Oh-ee!”

It made us jump and laugh to see

The little new moon above the tree.
