Starlight

The night is dark and cold and chill A vision of a starlit sky A scene of beauty ever still It reaches past the heavens high The sparks of light do pierce the dark A reason to recall a song Of wonder deep and dim and stark A moon that watches right and wrong What secrets now unknown to men Are kept by light of distant moon Undimmed by ink or stroke of pen They creep across like ancient doom The stars will shine forever on As symbols in our world of night They rise in dark to greet the dawn A messenger that heralds light
