The night is cool and crisp and young
     The moon up in the sky is hung.
The dark is flecked with a starry cast,
     Always and forever it will last.
For time is an element which stars never know:
     And as they wish, they come and go.

A Comet flashes by on its silvery flight
     Streaking the sky of the cool frosted night.
Venus of love, an unforgettable sight,
     Cats on the world a soft, dim light.

So stars will shine as the decades slip by
     Though they all will fade as dawn draws high.
