Analysis of Song of the Night



I hear the song of night and it
Is such a lovely tune,
Which calls me out until I sit
Beneath the lighted moon.

The symphony of sounds go on
And through each melody
The notes caress me on the lawn
And hold me tenderly!

I wish the songs would never end;
I feel myself imbued
With nature's magic which transcends
My soul that is renewed.
