How Brilliant is the Sky Tonight by David Mellor

From Public Domain
HOW BRILLIANT IS THE SKY TONIGHT 

How brilliant is the light tonight
how brilliant is it

Flashes like meteors boom and bang
A festival of fireworks
Heading here and there

How brilliant is the sky tonight
how brilliant is it

But some won’t see it
Others will
A child points at a flashing light
And then they are in it


How deadly is the night tonight
How chilling is it
