The sky as blue as an airborne sea

The marble clouds calm as can be

Their wisps of white float on by

 Endless patterns in the cool flowing sky

 

The sky sea recedes a crimson hue

Through the air the twilight birds flew

The light fades to an orange band

A gleaming ball sinks into the land

 

The sky above now dark and cold

Speckled with light from ages untold

The night's artwork bright and clear

Infinite combinations, exotic and queer

 

So sit and look at the star-spangled night

Enjoy and comprehend the magical sight
