Sparks of the Night

The mortal coil has turned once more and Pluto's minions knock at the door The light has gone beyond the hills; The night has come with all its chills.

A shadow falls across the eyes As Luna, her nightly voyage flies, But far into the Plutonian blight Man can see a glimmer of light.

A glimmering promise that day will return. The lamps of night, in the sky burn, Shining like diamonds in a dark sea Causing the demons of night to flee.

O, the stars hung in the sky Watch the moon's night-voyage fly, Watch o'er Man, slumb'ring below Until daylight o'er the horizon flow.
