At The Hush Of The Night

In a serene room at the hush of night

My sister and I sat by the bedside

And listened to the marching seaside wind

Danced like a huge carnival in their stride

I looked at her starless, ebony eyes

In the dim candle-light that was so weak

We were alone in a sea of mystique

Hidden in a place of a sunless world

Outside, an almond tree swaying away

With the musical sound of every leaf

Shuffled to let all the moonlight display

Whilst their blurry shadows pranced on the ground

And all throughout the long dusky morning

We watched the moon through the glassy window

Crawled through the wide sky of a gloomy world

Passing mountaintops in its parading

And as the golden sunlight came slowly

Cuddles the edges of our rooftops

The sounds of animals were in the air

Awoke by the greetings of the sun’s care

The hush of night was no longer a dream

The day invaded like a gradual stream

The sun climbed mountains like a mountaineer

The hush of night was gone like yesterday
