Moon fills the sky with her luminous sorrow
And wolf cries his prayer of the night.
Sun will wake and warm our tomorrow
As night creatures hide from life in the light.

Wise owl wakes with a piercing stare
Hungry for mice that run from their foe.
Love bats dance in the midnight air
To a symphony of crickets playing below.

The gentle moth leaves dusty kisses
Upon the sleeping eyes of the dead.
Innocent hearts make desolate wishes
Upon pearly stars where hopes are fed.

Glorious Night! Close our eyes with your hand,
Let us rest while you awake.
Sing to us as you blanket the land,
For when we rise... Your life day will take.
