Night Whispers in our Ears

      Daybreak trumpets adventure
        night whispers in our ears
      Doubts dispelled by sunlight
        darkness quickens our fears 

      The moon shines bright
         as candlelight
      Stars race through the heavens
         wing-ed flight 

      Ere dawn stirs the day
         doves coo and play
      ‘Tis the season for lovers
          saints and poets pray
