Deep Woods

In the DEEP woods, where shadows CREEP and play, 
The winds WEEP, secrets SPEAK and sway, 
As branches CRACK, the night FALLS back. 

The MOON glows with a silver TUNE so bright, 
Each star SPARKS, a mark in the DARK of night, 
While wolves HOWL under the GLOWING prowl. 

By the STREAM, where the waters GLEAM and run, 
The RIPPLE of a stone is quickly NIPPLED and done, 
As nature SINGS with the WIND'S soft wings.
