O fair and mellow Moon of night,
Preferred above the Sun of day;
For eyes can't bear that gaudy light
But thou, O Moon, invite my gaze.

O vain Sun, so strong, so bright,
Dispels all lesser celestial rays.
But humble Moon which shines by night
Bids stars come out to play...

Moonbeams peer through swaying branches
Flirting with romantic glances
While stars are twinkling in joyful dances
Filling my heart with praise!

O vain Sun, so strong, so bright,
Dispels all lesser celestial rays.
But humble Moon which shines by night
Bids stars come out to play...

I love those last two lines. Sometimes it looks just like the stars are playing, with the moon smiling up at them. Love this cheerful poem.
