The Harvest Moon
The flame-red moon, the harvest moon,
Rolls along the hills, gently bouncing,
A vast balloon,
Till it takes off, and sinks upward
To lie on the bottom of the sky, like a gold doubloon.
The harvest moon has come,
Booming softly through heaven, like a bassoon.
And the earth replies all night, like a deep drum.
So people can't sleep,
So they go out where elms and oak trees keep
A kneeling vigil, in a religious hush.
The harvest moon has come!
And all the moonlit cows and all the sheep
Stare up at her petrified, while she swells
Filling heaven, as if red hot, and sailing
Closer and closer like the end of the world.
Till the gold fields of stiff wheat
Cry `We are ripe, reap us!' and the rivers
Sweat from the melting hills.
Ted Hughes
www.poemhunter.com is one of my favorite websites. You will find lots of poems about the moon there such as this one.

It not a poem- its a song
Its called Hijo de la luna (the son of the moon)
Sarah brightman sings a version. It's beautiful!

Just the first lines of a song:
Cuando la luna se pone regrandota,
como una pelotota y alumbra el callejón,
el gato viudo no sé que no se qué...
Hehehe...sorry, that's all I remember, but I made a poem myself:
Llora, Luna, llora,
llora una vez,
y ya no llores nunca.

Not a poem, but a beautiful song, "Goodnight Moon" by Shivaree.

Hey diddle diddle
The cat and the fiddle
the cow jumped over the MOOOOOOOON
the little dog laughed to see such a sport
and the dish ran away with the spoon.

Not a poem, but in Romeo and Juliet she asks him not to compare her to the pale changing moon....
That's all I've got. Sorry.

I love a song by John Elefante (of "Kansas" fame) called "That's why God made the Moon"
--- one line is
"That's why God made the moon...for nights like these as we dream of all eternity...as the angels sing their twilight symphony..."
its very pretty, one of my all time favorite songs

Luna, luna dame una tuna
La que me diste...
Se me cayo a la laguna
