The night is calm the world is at rest The sun's asleep tucked in its nest The stars twinkle bright like a crest While the moon's awoken doing its best Oh the night is mellow full and deep While the moon stands guard as we sleep The stars twinkle bright like a priest While the moon's so keen oh Crickets' song fills the midnight air Cool breezes whisper through the trees so rare Lanterns glow in the distant square Guiding us through the night with gentle care Oh the night is mellow calm and right The moon is white light yet it's so red
