Dear Night

I implore you dreary darkness Welcome here and wrap me up Let your dark caresses crouch under And be the background for ghostly images Despair and fear have imprisoned me Worry has befriended me Like a drummed drum, I cry while they dance Nightingale, sing me your song They are not my troubles that you sing of Nevertheless, we share the same fate fellow! Darkness in my life will melt When the light in my room looms no more When frogs croak in streams and water pools When the headlines fly over my conscious And prick it, nay, nay Where do I want to hide my gaze, If not in this darkness?
