BENEATH A WANING MOON

 

 

BENEATH A WANING MOON

 

 

Bouncing in the cart ruts

Bumping over the stones

Brushing past the hedgerows

Beneath a waning moon.

 

A black cloud drifts slowly

As rain begins to weep

And inside coiled snugly

A traveller fast asleep.

 

Bouncing in the cart ruts

Bumping over the stones

Brushing past the hedgerows

Beneath a waning moon.
