Now the hour has come at last
The soft and fading light...
Has crossed the west horizon and
has bidden us goodnight.
And what a lovely night it is
To walk a moonlit field
To see the softer shades
That are by starlight now revealed
So why is it that now,
When all is quiet and at rest
When candles glow and all the world
Is at its very best
The ponies of Equestria
Should lock themselves away
To shun the moon and wait instead
For Sister's sunny day?
IN UMBRA LUNA EST!
Am I so wrong to wish that they
Would see things like I do?
And am I so wrong to think
That they might love me too?
Why shouldn't they adore me?
Is it not within my right?
I'll not be overshadowed!
Mine is not the lesser light!
I've waited long enough now,
For them all to come around!
And though the Sun may plead and threaten,
The Moon will stand her ground!
And all will know the wonders
Of my dark and jeweled sky
When all the world is wrapped in
an eternal lullaby!
So say goodnight at this,
The final setting of the sun!
Tomorrow dawns in darkness,
The nighttime has begun!
NOCTE!
