At night the garden is a cool and silvered place
beauteous, calm and free.
The beaming sun has sunk
into its bed of tranquillity
and the shimmering moon has risen
and sails the dark, impenetrable sky
with soothing silver majesty.
Tall trees are crowned with similar wealth
their leaves dancing and glittering
with moonshine and starlight
twinkling down from the milky way.
Crickets sing and fireflies dance
near the water, my dogs are entranced,
a whole new world of creatures
to sniff out and play with in delight
in the garden at night.
