The White WindowEnglish Poems Index
The White Window :
The Moon comes every night to peep
Through the window where I lie:
But I pretend to be asleep;
And watch the Moon go slowly by,
-And she never makes a sound!
She stands and stares! And then she goes
To the house that's next to me,
Stealing by on tippy-toes;
To peep at folk asleep maybe
-And she never makes a sound!
By James Stephens
