I Go To Bed Soon
Hold thy peace you day star
Behold, i go to bed soon
Beyond the vale of furrows afar
Sighs and heaves the river and moon.
Cool air mating with the gloaming drives
The winged creatures to their nest
Amidst baobab that shed their leaves
And the wager homeward plods to rest.
The call of the silent night
I bask to obey as her blanket
Slowly looms and enshrouds the height
One last glare of day, without regret.
May there not another day star be
When with balm of rest I soothe my bone
Let there no storm be, this my plea
To make body and hearts cold and lone!
