Stop and listen What a lonely sound A wolf calls out to the night Another one answers And a coyote yips Both calling to the full moon light.

A silent night Does not apply The night sounds all around Proving to A listening ear Life in the darkness does abound

Stars above Like tiny lights Or sequins on velvet sky Night creatures Wolf, cat and owl Echo Nature's wild, free cry

Different sounds At morning light Birdsong wakes the earth from sleep Night life pauses To return at dusk And its nightly vigil keep.
