        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
