Through bleary eyes I see the touch light   Beyond the panes I sense a danger   There's silhouettes of a hundred people   My Sister Moon would reveal no stranger   Collect my mantel, collect my senses   I must away, slip into the dark night   Would they go I should sleep till sunrise   And with the day there would be some respite      Fly, sister, fly   Into the dark night that loves you   Into the darkness   Let not their eyes catch your shining      Out the door and into the night air   Oh, sweet Moon, don't betray your sister now   Across the fields not a glance behind me   The din so loud they must be upon me   Away, away and away and away now   Fast as the wind, just as fast as the Hare now   Where I a cat I would not act fearfully   Those stumbling men would be no match for me      Must catch my breath, must not let them hear me   Though my heart is so loud it would deafen me   Now a shout they must know where I lie   So to my feet and again I must fly   Rush through the trees, the thorn, the bramble   While high above an owl flies carefree   Why be I here, I should be beside him   Ere will I go, they'd expect it of me
