La Lune, Oh Moon,
You bright hemisphere
cradled by these Alps so near
You seem in Face so much and dear
Halfway to Thee, high ledge i perch
and scan surrounding peaks in search
for signs of Play, Leela’s great Mirth
Nearby is She, the Divine One
who encompasses both Thee and Sun
and Earth and Sky and all things done
La Lune, Oh Moon,
through night time’s Sky
we both reflect Her, You and i,
Her Light so bright, will never die
So let us go, our nightly rest
in alpine climes tonight the Nest
Her Universe is at Peace, and Blest
Jai Shri Chandra Ma
