001 The Song of the Night

As people retire from their work

Murky shadows begin to lurk

Fireflies flutter across the lawn

They are out to play 'til the dawn

Crickets and owls cry from the trees

Reaching my ear on a midnight breeze

Night sounds rise in a refrain

That knocks against my windowpane

Its whispered promise fills my room

It calls me into the gloom

To dance to the rhythm of the night

And in the morn' to take flight
