All the stars have taken the light
From the moonlit shadowless night.
All the people have fallen asleep,
None have stayed awake like me,
To wreep the light from those lit stars,
Just enough to last until morn'
Where I not only see the light,
But feel and hear it's horn.
Like a wild trumpetier it plays,
Dances in the wind and never stays,
For nightfall will come, bright first
Then the light is again stolen away.
I beg it to stay, to shed downright
A glance from the heavens, an eye
And eye to cast a glance through the dark,
And gaze at the stars in the sky.
