the heat of the day
cool of the night
clear blue sky
such a beautiful sight
trees so green
(greener than I've seen)
earth rich & brown
rain pouring down
to make the hour cool
like diving in the pool
when the heat gets you down
then the coolness of night
with stars shining bright
but before they appear
comes the scene held so dear
there's no more exquisite sight
than day changing to night
and the reds and the golds
which appear in the folds
of the African sky
when night is nigh
