Example
A Moonlit Night
She took a stroll one moonlit night
Diamonds afar, those stars so bright
Such precious gems to soothe her soul
One moonlit night, she took a stroll
This night was crowned in diadems
To soothe her soul, such precious gems
On the boundless sea, gleams abound
In diadems, this night was crowned
The breeze played a song for the tree
Gleams abound on the boundless sea
To nature's tune we sing along
For the tree, the breeze played a song
The stars above, they made her swoon
We sing along to nature's tune
She embraced the heavenly love
They made her swoon the stars above
