The sun is beginning to set
Behind the pristine trees
The sunset reflects in the blue pond
Where waters gush so purely and freely
Where the sunset fades
Like a faded tapestry
And like a curtain
The celestial veil of Heaven falls
And hides the sunset from our view
Thus the sky turns black or dark midnight blue
This is the Nocturne of Twilight
Which has long ago faded
Because it is now Night
And the curtain of Heaven
Hides those beautiful colours from our view
Night's tapestry is just as lovely though
So do not cry when the sunsets glow
Has faded
Because Night's tapestry is just as beautiful
