The stars shone bright and seemed so near
You could reach out and touch them dear,
They twinkled slightly giving the sky
A soft glittering effect as the night went by.


The moon so big and bold that graced the night
Sits like a silver coin in the soft black velvet sky,
This peaceful nightly beauty seen day after day
We can only hope it would never go away.


Yet in the stillness of the wondrous night we see
That peace in this gentle meadow will never be,
And so we sit and watch the this wondrous sight
Alone and happy until the early morning's light.
