La Lune

It was a dark night in Salem
One star and no moon
The woman in black sang out,
“La Lune, La Lune…”


A wisp of a cat on her heels
as she moved through the town
burning words into the air,
bringing that moon on down.


Master of the Universe meets
Mistress of the Night
together a likely pair, who’ve
no choice but to unite.


Laughter on the wind
A corn dolly in hand
Soon a light was cast
wide upon the land.


“La Lune, La Lune…”
The woman in black sang out.
One star, one moon

It was a bright night in Salem.
