Nightfall
Nightfall
The day is ending
The sun drops below the horizon
And yet there is light which stays on
Twilight from the very earth itself
held there holding back the fall
of night
The pall descends softly
A silent blanket of darkness
A faint rumble impairs the hush
Even this disappears and frogs
Begin their tireless chorus
Silenced as the windows close
and drapes hide the crescent moon.
The day is ending
The sun drops below the horizon
And yet there is light which stays on
Twilight from the very earth itself
held there holding back the fall
of night
The pall descends softly
A silent blanket of darkness
A faint rumble impairs the hush
Even this disappears and frogs
Begin their tireless chorus
Silenced as the windows close
and drapes hide the crescent moon.
