The moon I was slung by the earth,
with who I was hinged, and so encircled.
I loved him according to my orbit,
no more, no less, like a ring so ceaseless;
yet also couldn't be more, or less,
since the force kept the distance.
I would glow if I shared a part of his view,
and I grew gloom if I sometimes lost the chance.
The light was so dazzling. The routine was so dizzying.
I could hardly stand and had to confess:
so tragic it was that while I spun around
it was not me your ring did crown.
