Comets, and stars by the millions

frollicked and raced,

and each other chased,

Like the sky was their private pavillion;

Then the Sun got upset,

and started to fret,

because nothing was getting done.

So they set aside day for cutting the hay,

and the night was for having star-fun.

Playing chase-me, and Tag-you,

and tossing wild star-gloss,

'Till the sky was dizzy with fleeing;

And when out of control, their play turned to chaos,

and that's how the world's came to being;

Then the Sun called a meeting, to set things aright;

Said the neighbors must think we're a fright.

When The Moon came a'courtin',

and saw them cavortin',

she decided to leave by daylight;

The Sun asked the moon to stay until June;

Till all things were under control,

But the Moon couldn't stay

past the twenty-eighth day,

Having a path of her own she must stroll;

When the Comets and Stars were beginning to nod,

With the "sleepy" dust in their eyes

The Moon got the job

of controlling the Mob,

And the Sun got a good night's sleep.

Then the Moon told the stars of a game they could play,

till eternity's end it will last;

Into groups they divided,

And names they decided,

After choosing an all-star cast.

One group was the Hunter, another Orion,

While a third chose the water to bear;

The Big dipper was next,

placed on high to be seen,

The North star was the jewel in her hair.

Andromeda, Casioppe, The Twins, and the Crab,

Each star-child took its place,

In the order of things heav'nly,

it must be admitted,

Sun and Moon sure do things with grace.

For the Sun and the Moon and the children of heav'n

grace the sky for our delight,

But for a time there,

Law and Order was bare,

When the Moon saved the day, for the Sun.

And the Plaiades were formed,

Heaven's children were born,

And Order restored,

By the hand of the Lord

When the Moon gave He charge o'er the night
