Night Comes Alone

Night comes alone Across the sky And finds unkown The shrivelled sigh Night falls sweetly A delicious Fruit, and weary Souls are gracious Night sobs her tears Like diamonds On leaves of cares From shallow sands Night lingers here Against the wall Her breast is bare Soft footsteps call Night lights the lamp On misery On dew falls damp On memory Night comes here deep Among the trees Where lovers keep Their silent pleas Night comes slowly To the tired heart Sobbing gently From a star's dart Night comes alone To shut the eye Cradling the moan In valleys dry.
