The Wind blew hard, and ont went the Moon,
So,deep

He turned in his bed she was there again!
On high
In the sky,
With her ghost eye,
The Moon shone white and alive and plain
Said the Wind" III blow you out again.
The Wind blew hard, and the Moon grew dim,
- With my sledge
And my wedge
have knocked OF her edge;
If only blow right fierce and grim,
The creature viii soon be DINNER than dim"
He blew and he blew, and she thinned to a thread
Zone puf
More-s enough
To blow her to SNUFF
One good pun more where the last bred,
And glimmer, glum will go the thread"
He blew a great blast, and the thread was gone,

The Wind he took to his revels once more,
On down
In town
Like merry-mad clown,
He leaped and halloed with whistle and roar,
. What's that?n The glimmering thread once
more.
He flew in rage, he danced and blew;
But in vain
Was the pain
OF his bursting brain;
For still broader the moon-scrap grew,
The broader he swelled his big cheeks and blew
Slowly she grew, till she hIed The night,
And shOue
On her throne
In the sky alone,
matchlcss, wonderful silyery light,
Radiant and lovely, the queen Of the night.
said the Wind: "what a marvel Of power am {?
With my breath,
Good faith,
blew her to death
First blew her away right ont of the sky
Then blew her in what strength am II"
But the Moon she knew nothing about the affair !;
For nigh
In the sky
With her one white eye,
Motioness, miles above the air,
She had never heard the great Wind bare.
