THE SPACIOUS FIRMAMENT - Addison

Soon as the evening shades prevail,
The moon takes up the wondrous tale,
And nightly to the listening earth
Repeats the story of her birth;

Whilst all the stars, that round her burn,
And all the planets, in their turn,

Confirm the tidings as they roll,
And spread the truth from pole to pole.
