Night Owls
How quaint and queer
the quiet streets
are
when those from
near
and those from far
have retired at night.
How fragrant fresh
and free the air
When those from here
and those from
there
are safely in their
beds.
When Moon-beams
meet
in merry mood
cast bright light
where shadows stood
touch roof- tops, trees
and chimney-stacks
with magic light-------
From far away
and places near
the posterns of
the night appear
Watchmen Police
and
Traffic Cops
Night Owls
of the dark.
