Rona in the Moon
Rona, Rona, sister olden,-
Rona in the moon!
You'll never break your prison golden,-
Never, late or soon!
Rona, for her crying daughter,
At the dead of night
Took the gourd and went for water;
Went without a light.
There she heard the owlets wrangle
With an angry hoot;
Stick and stone and thorny tangle
Wounded Rona's foot.
'Boil the moon!' she said in passion;
'Boil your lazy head!
Hiding thus in idle fashion
In your starry bed!'
Angry was the moon in heaven;
Down to earth she came:-
'Stay you ever unforgiven
For the word of shame!
Up!- you made the moon a byword -
Up and dwell with me!'
Rona felt the drawing skyward,-
Seized a ngaio tree.
But from earth the ngaio parted
Like a bitten thread;
Like a comet upward darted
Rona overhead.
In the moon is Rona sitting
Never to be free;
With the gourd she held in flitting
And the ngaio tree.
You'll never break your prison golden,-
Never, late or soon,
Rona, Rona, sister olden, -
Rona in the moon!
