The last streams of golden light have vanished.
Delicate silhouettes disappear, Engulfed by a vast shadow of darkness.
Among the heavens, Stars glisten like diamonds. Silently the shadows of once sun-bathed objects appear, Against a backdrop of the black velvet sky. The air is calm and quite, But not all light is gone. The moon and the stars, Fill mountains and valleys with an ocean of silvery light. And the slightest glint of red in the east Tells us that soon the day shall come again And bring with it brilliant beams of sunlight.
