    You caress the weeping
    Children into your Gown.

    2

    You fly in misty Woods,
    Singing your Song of Silence.

    3

    You try to dim Lights from Fires,
    But they char your velvet Dress.

    4

    You Summon a delicate Frost from
    The light Dew upon glossy Leaves.

    5

    You flee from the blooming Rose
    That is the Morning’s crimson Sun.

    6

    Later, you flow back into peaceful
    Lands that are tired of the Day.

    7

    Once again you soar upon
    Dark and silent Wings.

    8

    You bring people’s Minds into
    A Trance that shimmers into Sleep.

    9

    You calm the weary cry of
    A tiny Voice lying in a Cradle.

    10

    Over and again
    You come and go.

    11

    Years Passing by don’t come back,
    But you return always in your eternal Life.

    12

    You watch Younglings
    Come, Grow, and Die.

    13

    You are the opposite of Day,
    Your Name is known, for

    You are Night.
