The Twilight Spell

As  the   Moon   with  the  first  slim  smile
And   myriad stars  appear  in  the  sky grand
Ready to  watch  the  earthly  show  a  while ,
The  awaiting  crickets and  frogs  in  the  band
Begin their choral orchestra which booms high
From among the wild reeds and weeds and the lot ,
Along  the  swamp  bordering  the  large  lake ;
Despite the  fond  fish   dancing  deep  down the spot
The water is  still and graceful to reflect,  and  eke
The  images  of  glow-worms  glimmering : a fairy land ;
Creatures performing for the complete , perfect bliss
Of  the beholder - far or near,romantic  or  bland ;
The vision eye of art would  never  afford  to miss
Such free glory and  glamour  of  a closing  day ,
Never cloy ,but  ecstatic  a  domain  of   the fay  .
