Night falls softly these long days,
Perfect timing every phase.
Sweetest kiss caresses sky
In a lingering good-bye,
Featuring the fading Sun,
Heralding the rest begun.
Royal symphony of light,
Promises of dreams tonight.
Tender notes as day departs,
Peppering the sky with stars.

Love the stars… but now at solstice the stars are too shy to be seen

I do like the gentle rhythm and rhyme of your Qaudrille, Crystal, which reminds me of a childhood prayer. I just love the last line!
