• The tiger of the night slips through the wind,
    it's stripes in the shadows.
    His eyes glow from the moon,
    and sparkle like the stars.
    The tiger of the night is silent on the dirt,
    and graceful as a bird.
    He races through the tall grass like a snake,
    hoping to sink his claws.
    The tiger of the night comes around three times every year,
    but only at night when the cricket sounds.
    Because when the sun starts to rise,
    he turns to dust.
