Sun has silently dipped down and

Twilight has gently dawned

Across shadowy fields and the darkened horizon.

Revealing very soon while encircling the pale moon

Lights, minute and sparkling; a tuneless melody

In the clear, wintry night sky.

Glowing, glittering gems resting beneath

Heaven’s vast midnight canopy

Touching our souls and whispering tenderly,

“Sleep in peace and quiet hope tonight.”
