"As Clara bent her legs again

and leaped toward the moon up high,

her body felt something so wonderfully new:

something amazing and thrilling and grand.

The wind whipped her face and her feet lifted up,

her arms flapped quite wildly,

her hair blew straight back.

Over their house, Clara soared and sailed

through puffy white clouds,

past stars and meteors,

and toward that glowing white ball she flew,

her soon-to-be toy now fully in sight."
