Beautiful moon, way up in the sky, drop us beam ladders as you pass by,
So we can climb to moon-land bright, where wee folk ne'er say good night, sleep tight.

Wake, wake, my dears, the sun is up, and open wide your eyes; And listen to the birdies say "it's morn' be glad 'a rise, it's morn' be glad 'a rise!"

Pan, Pan, happy fellow, Prince of Youth all dressed in yellow!

"Did you come from distant plains to pipe for us your glad refrain?"

My! Your notes we love to hear, they fill our hearts with love and cheer;

And your stories from the skies bring to us a sweet surprise!

That your joy we all may share, bless you Pan! This is our prayer!

Soft misty veils the rain had spun and the sun had painted every one.
As the clouds scurried off and waved good-by the wind whispered softly:
"A sash for the sky!"
