Rhapsody In Black
Softly the night falls,
Shadowing vacant halls;
My recent morning glory,
Now is nature's history.
Petals bob in warm air;
Tweets of a love affair!
Racy brook, moon gleam,
A time has come to dream.
Night creatures very gay,
As night owl hoots away;
All humanity in a swoon-
A firefly night of June!
Toad hops on water lily,
Stars shine on tranquilly;
All the world speechless,
As if it died of happiness!
