Repeat, looking at the new moon the first time you see it,—
New moon, true moon, tell unto, me
Who my true love is to be;
The color of his hair, the clothes he is to wear,
And when he’ll be married to me.
Mansfield, O.

Repeat, looking at the new moon the first time you see it,—
New moon, true moon, tell unto, me
Who my true love is to be;
The color of his hair, the clothes he is to wear,
And when he’ll be married to me.
