Night Birds

Upon the glow of evening mist Beneath the darkened sky Whilst gazing at the moonlight pale I heard the night birds cry (Beware, beware, all creatures small O see, O see, the night birds fall) The sweetest breaths of night`s descent Upon my senses lie As deep within my trembling heart I saw the night birds fly (Wide-eyed in the darkness searching From the branches swiftly lurching) In the gloom, full fledged, they watch With stealth, and oh so sly, I sensed them shrouded in the trees - The night birds drawing nigh (Look out, look out, my little friends Lest now, O now, your journey ends)
