A Starry Night

422 of 424 · 1 min of reading

A cloud fell down from the heavens,

And broke on the mountain's brow;

It scattered the dusky fragments

All over the vale below.

The moon and the stars were anxious

To know what its fate might be;

So they rushed to the azure op'ning,

And all peered down to see.
