A Starry Night

Paul Laurence Dunbar

    A cloud fell down from the heavens,
      And broke on the mountain's brow;
    It scattered the dusky fragments
      All over the vale below.

    The moon and the stars were anxious
      To know what its fate might be;
    So they rushed to the azure op'ning,
      And all peered down to see.
