And so twilight has come at last,
The night to follow soon
The glory of the day has passed
(The bright sunshine of noon)

The daylight soon shall take a bow,
And birds too take their rest
The stars begin to twinkle now,
Like sequins on nights vest

And as we watch the moon arise,
Her nightly task to start
The beauty of her silvery eyes
Would warm the coldest heart

Ah, here she is, in light adorned
And with a ghostly smile
The darkness of the new night scorned
She starts her dance in style

A slow dance now, she has no need
To hurry on her way
Though her time is short indeed,
And soon will come the day

And with daylight, she will retreat
As in the eastern sky,
The sun will once more take his seat
And night will once more die.
