A soft wind waltzed in the darkness of night With a silver moon shedding a dim light, A wild willow wafting with gentle grace, Reflecting the shine of stars on its face With wooing wind whispering a sweet song While frolicking on verdant leaves along, Awaking crickets close from fields to creep, Lulling my weary soul slowly to sleep, Caressing the grass on the front yard lawn~ Somehow, this view left me with break of dawn.
