night's shawl

NafisaSB

The wind caressed the silky smoothness of the night

While up in the sky, the stars seemed fireflies bright

The road, down on earth, bathed in an eerie light

Seemed gloomy and morose at their sad plight.

 

The frogs in the well creaked on and on

Whilst the caterpillar lay sprawled near the thorn

A slight breeze rose and played with the corn

While in the quietness, hooted a vehicle’s horn.

 

A veil of darkness surrounded one and all

The night-insects got up, and sounded their buzzing call

In the nursery, the dolls hastened to the ball

Whilst the world slept, wrapped up, in night’s shawl.
