The lyrics mean, “The bright moon shining on the ground, The night before New Year, go pick betel nuts Baby, be good and go to sleep, Tomorrow, mama has to wake up early to farm And papa has to herd the cows Baby, grow up well So you can help papa herd the cows. Bright Moon originated from a Cantonese poem which was later turned into a lullaby by the government in the late 1900s for parents and children to sing.

After his father heard him play such arduous pieces, he started giving him lessons. Mozart’s sister was also a talented musician.
John Ericsson John Ericsson (July 31, 1803 – March 8, 1889) was a Swedish-American inventor and mechanical engineer, as was his brother, Nils Ericson. He was born at Langbanshyttan in Varmland, Sweden, but primarily came to be active in England and the United States. He is remembered best for designing the steam locomotive Novelty (in partnership with engineer John Braithwaite) and the ironclad USS Monitor. John's and Nils's father Olaf Ericsson who worked as the supervisor for a mine in Värmland had lost money in speculations and had to move his family from Värmland to Forsvik in 1810.

The Bells” by Anne Sexton In the poem “The Bells” by Anne Sexton, illustrates how an adult expresses their memories of going to the circus with their father. I believe this poem is about an outing to the circus with her father. In lines one through five I believe Anne describes how the circus poster was scabbing off the concrete wall, how the children may have forgotten about the poster, or even if they noticed its deteriorating condition at all. And for assurance of the occurred Anne asks her father do you remember? In this stanza I believe that Anne and her dad had gone to the circus so long ago; because of the current state of the circus poster.
