So Soft, the Night Fell

SO SOFT, THE NIGHT FELL 

So soft, the night fell, 
I missed twilight 
A canopy of stars, 
upon my head did dwell 

Glorious night!, 
welcomed me 
Such stars! 
Such moonlight! 

The moon rose high, 
such quiet beauty 
I tracked its' passage 
in a star laden sky 

There is more here... 
Than  the eye can follow 
Than the eye can see 

So softly, did the night fall, 
a sunset passed 
Night and day never last 
The moon,the stars... 
Held me in awe
