This Firefly Night-Turner and Logan Collaboration

The moon was peeking through the naked trees The breeze that blew that day had gone to bed A lonely nightingale perched overhead Harassed the silence with his sad reprise The creaking porch swing's old familiar tune No fitting lyrics could I ever write To my sweet love on this warm firefly night The melancholic song I'd never croon Ten trillion stars, a shimmering chemise Which cloaked the sky in sparkles green and red Connected by the rays of golden thread How could one tire, admiring nights like these? Upon magnolia trees, blossoms were strewn The nightingale heard her call and took flight I might sit here until the morning light Like days of old, these nights would make us swoon

The third stanza is remarkable. Almost a standalone piece. That nightingale song can be foreboding, too. Beauty and yet melancholy.
