The Moon Has Been Arising [Tongan translation]

The moon has been arising,

the stars in golden guising

adorn the heavens bright.

The woods stand still in shadows, and from the meads and meadows lift whitish mists into the night.

The world in stillness clouded and soft in twilight shrouded,

so peaceful and so fair.

Just like a chamber waiting, where you can rest abating

the daytime's mis'ry and despair.
