Last Night

(Verlaine) Last night a moon came out She replaced my eyes She said your plans undermined you Until the shadow rings the bell You'll only see behind you She took her jewel She left the kingdom Though many say she was thrown out Her tongue it's bitter Her lips are sweet There's so much she won't talk about I went upon This field of crosses How I wish I could change my vote But there's no one there There were no losses Not when the fever broke The whole wide world Was your medallion The stars like a necklace So bright I never looked I never noticed I never saw It was night
