Song to the moon and the night sky, by way of a bat, a Japanese river, the sea shore, and a market place.

Timestamps
00:00 Start
00:22 Cobwebs of clouds
00:42 The black bat darts
00:58 Moon, can you count the hours?
01:15 I have gone dow to the river
01:30 I have moored my boat beneath the willow
01:47 I have taken a handful of willow leaves
02:09 I have traced the contours of the sky at night
02:25 I have fallen from the sky in slivers of moonlight
02:47 So, I will pack my sacks full of moonlight
03:04 Will anyone buy my moonlight?
