The Stars Are

The stars are 
Although I do not sing 
About them— 
The sky and the trees 
Are indifferent 
To whom they please 
The rose is unmoved 
By my nose 
And the garland in your hair 
Although your eyes be lakes, dies 

Why sigh for a star 
Better bay at the moon 
Better bay at the moon . . . 
Oh moon, moon, moon
