I sit by my window,
And watch the full moon.
It looks like a golden pearl,
In a silvery spoon.

Beautiful and round,
Like a fresh circle of cheese,
It changes its face,
On a swift moving breeze.

Big and glowing,
It reflects and smiles beautifully.
On the surface of the lake,
It stays and sways joyfully.

Oh! How I wish I could,
Rise up in the sky,
And accompany the moon,
Together we would fly.
