The Moon Queen sails,
Throughout the night,
With stars that shine,
And give her light.
As the clouds,
Go floating by.
She steers her craft,
Across the sky.
Far down below,
All children sleep.
And dreams to dream,
To forever keep.
If one child,
Dreams of her.
Then some magic,
So shall occur
The next morning,
Awaits a surprise.
A small moonbeam,
Is her gifted prize.
