Celestial Jewels of Night
As sunset fades to darkest night
the stars awaken and come to life.
Thousands of the celestial jewels,
adorn the black velvet sky,
twinkling with pure delight.
And there in luminous allure,
is the queen of the moonlit night;
the full and golden wanton moon,
wooing lovers with her mystical light.
Beneath full moon's glow
under canopy of stars
lovers pledge their troth
yielding to love's siren call
magic dwells in moonlit nights.
