Night

I saw the beauty of the night -
the pale moon riding high,
the fine-lace patterns of the trees
against the moonlit sky.

I heard the rustle of the leaves -
I heard the soft winds sigh
and cheerful, chirping crickets
that ceased as we passed by.

I held my breath in wonder then,
caught with a glad surprise
because I looked at you, and saw
the stars were in your eyes.
