Poezja

Captured in the fall of evening
Stilled my soul in sweet recline –
Spanning dark unclouded heavens
There the moon and stars align

Haunted by the night’s sweet music
With a song of sad lament
Soothing then my heart in solace
Filling me with pure content

Then to ‘bide in glow of fireside
Watching dancing shadows there
Nothing but the moment lingers –
Joyful just to sit and stare

O, the dark shall be my haven
So to rest with easeful mind
Fixing yet my eyes upon you
As in splendour so entwined

Night of nights I bow before thee
Come, O come and take my soul
Into realms where I may wander
There your beauty to extol

Quiet now, with calm acceptance
Sorrows borne now fly away
Gently sinking into slumber
Yet to know another day

Into somnolence then drifting
In your grasp my spirit keep
Dreams shall take my thoughts in whispers
Peaceful now – I’m falling deep
