The Moon Eyed People Poem by Ima Ryma

When the Cherokees first came to
Appalachia, already there
Were some albino humans who
Were of small stature and did bear
Huge blue eyes sensitive to light.
Thus, Moon Eyed People was the name
By the Cherokees, seen at night,
When out of their home caves they came
To hunt and fish for food to find.
The Cherokees apparently
Became concerned, cause undefined,
And made the Moon Eyed People flee.

Conjoined in a statue of stone,
Two Moon Eyed People still be shown.
