The sun-kissed fields glow in the sun

      As the sunshine says goodbye.

The night-time then returns once more,

      With the moon and stars up high.

​

It’s goodbye to our sun once more 

    As it wakens life beyond.

Now darkening shadows take their place

     Upon our village pond.

 

The creatures of the day now sleep -

      Their day’s work’s at its end -

Whilst through the dark sky to our earth,

      The moon’s soft rays descend.

 

Whilst animals and human beings

      Succumb to night-time sleep,

The creatures of the night wake up

      And at their world they peep.

 

The owl takes off across the fields,

     And on silent wings he sweeps.

He seeks small animals to eat,

     Those out whilst children sleep.

 

Within the moon’s soft gentle rays

      The tiny bats appear.

In the dying embers of the sun,

     You may see them very clear.

 

Our world revolves.  Night turns to day,

       And our earth’s lit by the sun,

And the creatures of the night will sleep,

      For all their work is done.

 

The children make their way to school.

      There’s a busy day ahead,

And whilst they work at school or play,

      Night creatures sleep instead.
