A Little Child of the Night (Revisited 21 June 2023)
A
little
child,
joyful and
smiling above
in the nightly sky, Keen to please the beholder`s eyes
and beckoning her to tenderly take him In her
arms and fondle with him, Shower pure
motherly love and lull him to rest
Close by her maternal breast
until the radiant light of the
coming day Will without
woe veil his lesser light
away. When * night will
stealthily creep in,
up high he will
smile anew.
