You girls by moonlight lovered,
Be shy and cold, you girls.
The words men breathe by moonlight
Be careful of these words.
Script on the parchment moon is
Forged from authentic sun.
The lips of men in moonlight
Would counterfeit love’s own.
You girls, the true-tongued lovers
Are robot hearts, you girls.
Their words!—through ghostly gullet
Drives the dead moon their words.
