NIGHT, by                    
First Line: Night has dropped her rosy curtain
Last Line: With peace our hearts to fill.
Subject(s): Nature; Night; Peace; Sleep; Bedtime


Night has dropped her rosy curtain,
The sun has gone to rest;
All earth's living things are certain
To seek a dreamy nest.

Nature now in quiet slumbers
Beneath a quilt of mist,
Yet one feels the moon's soft glimmer,
When by its gleam we're kissed.

All the day the birds have twittered,
But they too now are still,
Plumage in the moonlight glittered,
Wings are now across the bill.

After bustle of day's hurry,
Comes the night so still,
All day's artifice condoning,
With peace our hearts to fill.
