Sunset, all the colours,

Purple, orange, and red,

Soon it will be dark,

Time to go to bed.

Stars shining in the sky,

Tiny spots of light,

Millions of them

Out all night.

The moon is a bright circle,

Lighting up the night,

When the sun rises up

It goes out of sight.

Sunrise over the hill,

Yellow and golden,

Up in the sky

The day has just begun.
