Hosmer, William Henry Cuyerl: Night - ZaunköniG - 01.07.2007 Night O Night! I love thee as a weary child Loves the maternal breast on which it leans! Day hath its golden pomp, its bustling scenes; But richer gifts are thine: the turmoil wild Of a proud heart thy low, sad voice hath stilled, Until its throb is gentler than the swell Of a light billow, and its chamber filled With cloudless light, with calm unspeakable: Thy hand a curtain lifteth, and I see One who first taught my heart with love to thrill, Though long ago her lip of song grew still: A strange mysterious power belongs to thee, To morning, noon, and twilight-time unknown; For the dead gather round thy starry throne! |
