Do Not Turn Out the Night
Ne Pas Éteindre La Nuit
Do not turn out the night
for night brings peace in healing.
Wait for the coming of the light
to wake a sense of morning’s feeling.
Do not turn out the night;
without the night can day exist?
And if I do not feel the coming of the light
how then can I the coming night resist?
Do not turn out the night;
we cannot see the white without the black
and though the wrong does not extinguish right
may I not know its presence by its lack?
