Planets weaving in the sky
Moving fast and drifting high
Moon she leads the dance way
14 degrees and 10minutes a day

Sun he glows just one degree
Steady in his majesty
Mercury he's swift and free
1 degree and 40 minutes

In the cosmic dance they flow
Fast or slow they'll let you know
Stationers they pause and stay
Waiting for another day

Venus follows in the sky
1 degree 'n 10 minutes fly
Mars is slower but still bright
43 minutes every night

Jupiter he's 12 minutes and calm
In his wisdom there's a balm
Saturn six minutes a day
Patient in his ancient way

Round and round the cosmos, wholly
Sometimes fast, sometimes slowly
Planets in their endless waltz
Astrology in starry vaults

In the cosmic dance they flow
Fast or slow they'll let you know
Stationers they pause and stay
Waiting for another day
