When the sun slumbers,

The woods sing a somber song.

Lost among the leaves.


The man on the moon

Watches the world sleep soundly.

Longing for the song.


He yearns to listen

To the song he cannot hear

The song of the trees.


The cold, shining stars,

Tears shed among the darkness,

Drip onto the trees.
