Fulltext: SEPTEM BER, 1941 THE YOUNG CITIZEN 313 · FOR THIRD GRADERS THE MOON By ANGEL V . CAMPOY THE MOON is a· beautiful lady; With a round silver lamp at night, She wanders up in the skyland, Making the earth so bright. Over the valleys and mountains, And riv:ers and oceans so blue, You'll always see her a-roving, And looking right down at you. Another Reading. Lesson MANY times I look at the moon. It does not always· seem the same. Sometimes it is large and round. Sometimes it is like a crescent. Sometimes it is yellow. Sometimes it looks like silver. When there is a full moon, it is very light even at night. On moonlight nights I like to play outdoors with other boys aod girls. It is so light then that we can easily see to play games. Our teacher says that the moon receives light from the sun. Sometimes there is an eclipse of the moon. Then we can see a round shadow covering the moon. Your teacher will tell you about an eclipse, if you will ask him. · Do you like to look at the moon when it is large and full and round? Can you find a poem about the moon?
