Content  -  A lyrical and very evocative song for Harvest time, conjuring up a moonlit field, rippling barley and wheat, a snowy owl in flight... delightful and very simple.

Lyrics sample

High above twinkling

In the night sky,

Starlight shining.

Snowy owl spreading wings,

Takes to the sky:

It’s lit by the moon.

Harvest moon, harvest moon

You light up the night

Beautiful harvest moon.

Harvest moon, harvest moon

You light up the night

Beautiful harvest moon.
