Cold Is the Night of September

Cold is the night of September 
But colder is the soul that drifts away, 
A soul that finds no shelter 
In the endless rage of day 
Lost is the dream that finds no light 
More lost is the hope that is so used in the dark 
Most lost is the smile in the night 
That tries to linger without a spark.
