Still Night

Still night, calm night, night ever quiet, peaceful, Be thou always here when the day is over; Restful, silent, filled with the fallen dewdrops, Gleaming in moonlight. Still night, calm night, graced with a starry frescoe-- Virgin, Hunter, Pleiades, cross of sorrow-- Keep thy tales forever as softly fettered, Gleaming in starlight. Written by Isaiah Zerbst

This is so beautifully written, Isaiah. I especially love the image of the "starry frescoe." I'm adding this one as a fav.
