and the clouds still flirt with the night in the sky,
The purple night lingers on the hills
and the clouds still flirt with the night in the sky
while the morning hurries to light up the frills
and lace the curtains as they eastward fly.
Rooftops slanting and the sunlight slides
to dive onto the street and paint it bright.
Shadows bristle, and behind them glides
the prancing, lilting spirit of light.
The day begins, initiates an ardour
for life with an urge to move and set aright
the errors and the wrongs of many a night
 and Godspeed, let the little boat leave the mooring
 and the harbour waiting for the light.
Goodbye little town of childhood delight
