Operetta

Operetta Opaline arias glow in moonlight Shimmers in the whip-poor-will’s reminisce, Opalescent anthems silvery delight On the still waters, moonbeams leave a kiss. Iridescent serenade sonatas Echo across sleek undulating swells Choruses of nightingale cantatas Rise up in sheer murmurs from argent wells Midnight luminescent harmony blends Overtures of plaintive loon duets Glide over satin ripples to transcend The song of hero and saucy coquette In tranquility soft moonlit scenes close Midnight’s operetta in dawn’s repose.
