Night Song

sleep

when a soul that her own clouds cover

this burning madness that refuses to dull

an unending flame that singes the vision

it wails that sorrow should always be

and unending gloom above her



sleep

down through darkness cold and weak,

it breaks its silence and sinks its lips

and the gifts of limpid mist recover

soon the soul heals the crystal mirror

though her wound be deep.



sleep

for all beloved of us, the darkness's lover

all most weary that smile or weep

feel thee afar or near them hover,

a little more, a little more



sleep....
