Scanning the sky with me scope one night
I got me a rather nasty fright
For somewhere afar in the heavenly sea
Two eyes were gazing back at me
Now who or what I cannot say
Was looking back from far away
But what a shock I undertook
When I had chanced to take a look
Now there were stars away so high
Sitting in the moonlit sky
But not before had I seen so
Two gazing eyes in that abode
But me with all my bravery
Plucked up the courage just to see
If there was so indeed two eyes
Sitting in the moonlit sky
And when I looked for them again
I could not see them on that plain
And I will never really know
If what I saw was really so
