The Night Carnival
Argent orb rose o'er lilac sky
Stars, bright lights of a country fair
Fete is set with celestial ware
Carousel starts at pink dusk shy
The bees and butterflies flit around
Rapt in their last minute gatherings sweet
From bloom to bloom for nectar sapid
Children too rush back to their mothers
To be cuddled and fed on homely treats
Of raspberry tarts and apple pies
Trees clap their leaves with festive flair
Li'l green pennons fluttering high
Back to nests all shiny birds fly
Coruscant life shimmers in air
Lunar march begins at the Cosmic Square
With orchestra of crickets, nightjars, cicadas
Nyctic carnival is now ablaze
Under opal moon's aurous glory
Silver fringed clouds gleam on inky firmament
The stellar fleet sets sail for the elysian ocean
Languid Earth sighs in bliss, vinous on crepuscular serenades
Till next sunrise basks her afresh in dawn's fulgid dulcet aubades
