O Night
O night, Thou art dark and still
Covered within the black
heavens, thy beauty is in the
reflection of a million glowing
stars.
O night, Thou art silent and
steady
Companioned by the bright
moon, thy heart never is lonely
and thy soul resides in eternal
bliss
Thou art the beginning of day
and the end thereof, The tomb
of all wild's rest, and the hiding
of man's dreams and terrors
As I invoke Thee, O night, Hear
my awe-trembling voice. Take
away all fears from behind the
mind with which I pray.
Thou art was when the spirit of
God was upon the waters, and
in thy bounties, thou knowest
my deepest feelings and my
sacred thoughts.
See how the poor and the rich
become equals in thine, how
the sane and the insane are
absorbed in thy harmony and
how all nature bows to the
essence of thy being
O night, beautiful dark....,
Wilt Thou not give comfort to
my sleep in thy darkest hour,
Wilt thou not allow the tender
touch of my wife rest me easy
Or the warmth of her kisses
quicken my soul,
O night, Inscrutable by Mortals!
Within thee was all creation hid
and from thy darkest spoke the
voice that made all
Frighten us not, but make thee
known as Thou art
