Oh Sweet Night

Oh Sweet Night

Oh sweet night how much I do thee miss
Of sweet caress by pale moon's soft kiss
Swath of star'd lace thrown, o'er my shoulders bare
Thy warm winds oft stroke, as silken strands of hair

Be there not an ink as pure as thee
Thou will as creatures runneth free
Oer all the Earth thy tendrils land
Betwixt the eve and dawn thou stand

Thou carest not of time or guilties owed
Upon wings of satin coal thou rode
Thy knowing love and loving heart's dear cry
Behold, a tear doth leap'ed from mine eye

Hours hath found in thee embrace laid
Soul stripped bare and spirit flayed
Drap'ed aurora eye's illusion sought
Within thee hid what I hath wrought

Oh sweet night how much I do thee miss
Of whispers mind and satin lips of bliss
Wisdoms untold thy guidance free
With dawn return less the misery.
