By Cover of Night

Have you ever gone hiking at night? It's like the forest completely transforms into something else, something mysterious and eerily beautiful. The way the moonlight shimmers on the leaves and reflects off the still waters of the little creek. The hoot of an owl and the howl of a wolf in the distance. It's magical. Just be careful, remember that you are not alone the forest.

By Cover of Night

By cover of night she finds her way

The scarlet fox in stillness crept

A silent shadow in the foggy twilight

Over fallen trees and thickets leapt

By cover of night she watches all

The great white owl in moonlight flew

A hovering cloud in the midnight air

Beyond the trees and rivers true

By cover of night she hunts for food

The silver wolf in darkness ran

A rushing wind within the woods

Forever hunting since time began

By cover of night she sneaks about

Little brown mouse in haste prepared

A frightened shuffle on the forest floor

Be ever wary, be always scared

By cover of night I’m not alone

The passing hiker hiking home
