Twilight

Twilight

 

Slowly the sun is hiding

Behind the mountain peaks

The twilight light is resting

Over the tops of trees

 

The doves and the sparrows

Are returning to their nest

The rabbits in their burrows

In peace, are taking rest

 

The flowers fall silent

Below the trees they lie

Their sweet mild fragrance

Is filling the air with joy

 

Soon the night will join

With darkness in the woods

Alone the moon will shine

In sky clear of clouds
