The Moon is Upon Her Throne Tonight

 

The moon is dressed in her shining best tonight

With silvering joy and lunar happiness

Flying and flowing, flung from her starry wand

Flying and falling upon her glowing-night realm

 

We loyal subjects peek from our windows to see

An argent pageant royal of beauty and truth

Even in summer the lawn is a frosty field

For her monthly dance, by her command

 

The Lady of the Moon is our Summer Queen

As she will be, and is, and ever has been

We Know Where the Holy Grail Is

 

 

“They all say they’ve got the Holy Grail. So who’s right?”

We know where the Holy Grail is

Each Sunday we see it on the Altar

As a cup, indifferent in its origins

In the catalogue of a church supply

 

A rabbi, a carpenter, and God

Walk into a rented room

And a Passover Kiddush cup is blessed

With the Viaticum, for all of us

 

A Passover seder is neither first nor last

It is forever – and here is the Cup
