The sun sits low
And the vespers ring,
MR ERLANSEN
And the shadows grow
And the crickets sing,
And it's
MRS NORDSTROM
Look Is that the moon
MR ERLANSEN
Yes
What a lovely afternoon
MRS NORDSTROM
Yes
MR ERLANSEN
The evening air
Doesn't feel quite right
MRS NORDSTROM
In the not-quite glare
Of the not-quite night,
And it's
Wait Is that a star
MR ERLANSEN
No
Just the glow of a cigar
MRS NORDSTROM
Oh
MR LINDQUIST
The atmosphere's becoming heady,
The ambiance thrilling
MRS SEGSTROM
The spirits unsteady,
The flesh far from willing
MR LINDQUIST
To be perpetually ready
Is far from fulfilling
MRS SEGSTROM
But wait The sun is dipping
MR LINDQUIST
WhereYou're right It's dropping
Look At last it's slipping
MRS SEGSTROM
Sorry, my mistake, it's stopping
QUINTET
The light is pink
And the air is still
And the sun is slink-
Ing behind the hill
And when finally it sets,
As finally it must,
When finally it lets
The moon and stars adjust,
When finally we greet the dark
And we're breathing amen,
MRS ANDERSSEN
Surprise of surprises,
It instantly rises
Again
