It is a majestic evening, iridescent and light The witching hour is still as a stone The moon ascends to her celestial throne A pearl in the sky, the divinest delight! The starry climes brood over the sky See! The cosmos is stirring, awake And doth with its infinite movement make The fluid Universe that flutters by Dear Children, Dear Children, who in thy happy dance Appear untainted by the ways of men Donβt let the world turn you cold: Thou seize divine fire all day, all year God is speechless with love for your soul so bold Which gets to go wild again and again
