The poet as a child asking for moonlight and he wants the seeds of moonlight in plenty.
The child desperately needs the seeds of moonlight to sow them on both the sides of the path from the city to his village because every day many people go to the city to earn their wages. As the village is far away from the city, when the villagers come back in the evening it is almost dark and late to reach back. The path or route is very difficult and dangerous as many poisonous creatures like snakes and scorpions are there in the way and there is no vehicle to bring them safely to their homes, they have to come by walk only, facing all these difficulties.
The father of the child is also going to the city for work, who comes late at night in that darkness. The child is asleep when his father comes back at night. And that is why the child wants many small moons on the way to illuminate the path to his village. He really cares for his father.
And he goes back early in the morning
while I'm sleeping.
