In Moonlit Night
Language: English  after the Russian (Русский) 
Knock, knock, knock… 
“Open the doors!”
- Who is knocking so quietly?
“It’s me - the maple leaf.”

Knock, knock, knock… 
“Open the doors!”
- Who is knocking so loudly?
“It’s me - the mountain wind.”

Knock, knock, knock… 
“Open the doors!”
- Who is knocking so late?
“It’s me - the moonlight.”
