Beauty of the Night

Mystic moon, shimmering so bright;
Her silver shine rouses the night. 
Like shining sun in amber glow,
she glows glitter where waters flow. 

The shady shade of blinding dark 
heaves high the worth of tiny spark;
While the bite of shivery snow 
gives cozy chance for love to grow. 

The lights of stars give hauling hope
to fainting faiths, for them to cope. 
The mockingbirds sing soulful song
to show sad souls where they belong. 

Through gleaming glow of wild bonfire 
frosty flakes melt on hearts in ire. 
The blazing beauty of the night 
sparks bright boldness in hearts that fright.
