There's a simpleness to Saturn, as it shines into night.
Dancing all through Virgo, bouncing off the light.

I viewed it through a telescope, hidden in the stars.
Then I turned to the west, and saw the red man Mars.

After which I looked for the man on the moon, sitting in his glow.
But sadly though he did not show.

Then with a sigh I realized, that tonight there was no moonrise.
And all there was, was darkness, burning in my black eyes.

So I moved into a field of green.
To get the view of what's unseen.

I saw the north west sky beyond the trees.
My curiosity had reached at it's peak.

For there lay the bright and glorious Venus.
And all the land that lay between us.

She shined and put the stars to shame.
As if she won the cosmic game.

But when I looked I gave a shiver.
Because her brightness, was just a sliver.

And so I stood there in a daze.
Caught between her crescent phase.
