TEXT (all movements are performed attacca)
1. my heart is empty of feelings, like love and joy can I regain them?
2. twilight is longer the day does not want to end the night seems hopeful
3. the moon among clouds like footprints in the deep snow frosty winter moon
4. you're free of clouds, moon, now you can move mores wiftly through the night sky
5. moonlight bathes the street the air is sweet with fragrance from nature's garden
6. I dream, when it’s still images float before me like a bird, I fly
7. when the night is full of stars, like diamonds and pearl smy joy is complete
