Slowly the
sun is hiding
Behind the
mountain peaks
The
twilight light is resting
Over the
tops of trees
The doves
and the sparrows
Are
returning to their nest
The
rabbits in their burrows
In peace,
are taking rest
The
flowers fall silent
Below the
trees they lie
Their
sweet, mild fragrance
Is filling
the air with joy
Soon the
night will join
With
darkness in the woods
Alone the
moon will shine
In sky
clear of clouds
