EVENING LULLABY Summer sounds drift softly, Through the window in the night; Soft breeze moves the curtain, In a slow dance with moonlight. A whisper of the night bird, Fills the twilight air; The fragrance of the summer bloom, Lingers softly, sweetly there. Shining from a navy sky, Is a languid harvest moon; Its moonbeams shine upon the bed, And dance across the room. On the sultry summer breeze, Floats the whistle of a train; As distant thunder rumbles, From a promised summer rain. There on the dark horizon, Lightning flashes 'cross the sky; Gentle raindrops kiss the rooftop, In an evening lullaby. Allison Chambers Coxsey ©1996 ~ All Rights Reserved
