sweet mōna, sweet mōna;
how shall i court thee?
the sun knows when to rule;
Oh mistress divine
sweet mōna, sweet mōna;
how shall i find thee?
the wind turned springs fool;
Oh figure fine
Sweet mōna, sweet mōna;
how shall i want thee?
the dark amidst the jewel;
Oh lunar design
sweet mōna, sweet mōna;
how shall i call thee?
the keeper of time, Lord of misrule;
Oh mistress mine
