POEM - The Night time

The Night time

As the darkness draws forward
And extinguishes light
The time will start changing
From day into night

As the swallows start playing
In a gamely array
The time is now drawing
To the end of the day

As some settle down
And cuddle up tight
They need to get cosy
For the cold of the night

As they go to sleep
The nocturnal awake
They scour for food
And have all they can take

As the night comes to daylight
And the moonlight descends
Another day starting
As night time just ends
