She came to the world
To the sound of Guitars
Her mother was Moon
Her siblings, the stars

Her name was Seleny
The Lady of Aradow
But everyone called her
The Silver Moonshadow

And everywhere she went
When she stopped to disembark
She never once feared
The Moon fears no dark

She found precious stones
And had plenty of gold
But vain she was not
Or so it is told

She built up a mansion
A castle as home
She slept in a roofless
Inspiring moon dome

But most of her gold
Went for people to feed
For the moon after all
Has no inkling of greed

She traveled a lot
And she saw many sights
She famed her own name
As the 'bless of the night'

Her name was a bless
And her powers a tale
She helped all the hopeless
And people at ail

And if she got hurt
Her eyes always stayed dry
Because as you know
The stars never cry

And one day
The suitors began to arrive
Together as one
Like bees from a hive

A royalty prince
And a king who was mage
A strong gallant knight
And a wise famous sage

And even when tired
She never went blasting
The moon, my dear friend
Has patience everlasting

But even though suitors
Came like moles to a mound
She stayed ever single
And flaws she had found

The sage had a limp
And the knight was a fool
The prince was so vain
And the king mad and cruel

But even though it seems
That she should have gone mad
Do not be forgetting
The stars are never sad

And one day she said
"I have had my fill"
She gave all her things
To the keeper of a mill

She said her farewells
When the skies were black as tar
And she hopped and she popped
And she turned to a star

Because now you see
Her perfection was a decoy
Even though it is strong
The moon knows not joy
