Hush of Night
In the midst of each starry night
I lay upon a bed of meadow grass
Moonbeams provide ample light
To watch the world silently pass
In the night I enjoy the gentle hush
It's a time when I pray in undertone
In darkness there is no need to rush
I welcome the solitude of being alone
I revel in wonder when night is still
A nightingale sings a beautiful song
I close weary eyes and drink my fill
In dreams the night is where I belong.
