First Line: Deep in the mellow afterglow
Last Line: And light.
Subject(s): Night; Silence; Stars; Bedtime
Deep in the mellow afterglow,
When earth enshrouds its creatures all,
We humbly stand with heads bowed low,
And listen to the silent call
Of night.
The star dust with its golden shades
Is sprinkled by a hand divine,
In answer now the pale pink fades
To offer room for dawn to shine,
And light.
