The Night

Oh night
Uncover yourself and show
What there is to know
About the mysterious shadows
That do overflow
My sight

The midnight lights
Those tiny spots
Across the sky
Dimmed dots
On the black page of the night

Tell me by signs
Tell to my weary eyes
The secret of desperation in the night
That comes as a tide
And leaves before the morning sun
Comes up and shines

If a good night sleep takes
Me to a place
Where no shadow
Covers the night sky
Written over with starlight
I shall follow
The instructions
To get out of delusions

Oh night
Send more light
Spare my soul
So wretched and cold
