It sits like a jewel

In the nearly autumn night

Peering through an almost cloudy sky

Casting off a most early light

The clouds pass beneath it

Not staying in any one place to long

The wind whispers through the trees

Singing it’s ancient and weary song

The stars give off

Their year’s distant light

Part of nature’s cast of thousands

In their performance each night

And like a tear that rolls down

The cheek of someone we love

The night ends and the jewel

Must leave its crown above
