Song of the Night

The full moon rises
to her darkened throne.
Can you hear the night calling
when you’re all alone?

The wind bids you gently,
fainter than a whisper,
to bathe in the moonlight
and drink from The Dipper.

Listen to the music
of the cricket’s call,
as from the trees
the dead leaves fall.

When you hear 
the song of night,
come to sing 
and shun the light.
