To You From Nighttime Skies

To You from Nighttime Skies Soft and slow the evening breeze Does filter out the day Silently it sways the trees In perfect night display A clouded veil does wrap the sky In grayish darkened hues This curtain’s dreary night disguise Does not disturb the views As raindrops ride the atmosphere To wet the ground below Shadows form and disappear Retreating as they go Overcast a watchmen sent His eyes to guard this eve Still the dream shall come to pass If only you believe Dark of night and storms that brew Will not deny this place The grandness of its endless charm Shall find your loving face For in this vast expanse does grow An everlasting love To shower down on those who know So softly from above For if you look your eyes may meet A joyful sweet surprise You’ll see it is my love I send To you from nighttime skies Good Night Soupers

Chris, steady, drum-beating rhythm and interesting stanzaic theme changes. Sweet! (Yeah, made sure that "stanzaic" was a word.)
