o there's a twilight magic in the mist
it floats between the eventide and dawn
attending winds of fancy, heaven-kissed
that billow with sweet breaths of Avalon
awaiting on a hope 'til gloaming's gone
a sea of suns to cast your dreams upon ...
o there is an enchantment in the night
that dances with dark charm and reverie
it holds all yearnings in its bosom, bright
and waits for your desires to set them free
to plumb the inky depths of midnight sea
and loose your sleep's imaginings-to-be ...
o there are wonders in the evening air
thus brought to full fruition in your sleep
all spun to threads of artfulness and care
and woven into wishes, grand and deep
a tapestry of moonbeams meant to keep
the secrets of the twilight in its creep ...
and all the souls who tend that great expanse ...
will see to your sweet dreaming as they dance!
