                                Venus­ is Beautiful Tonight

Venus is beautiful tonight, and so is Mars
Heaven’s husbandry 1 is generous this month
With a fine show of planets, stars, and dreams
To cheer us with their silent happiness

Tomorrow will be cold; cold rain will fall
From the husbandry of autumn clouds
Bathing the grasses, trees, gardens, and fields
Getting each sleepyhead ready for bed

We have our coffee and a little light jazz
Venus is beautiful tonight -
                                                  and so are you



1 Macbeth II.i.v-vi.
