THE NIGHT JOURNEY

OH DARK SHADOW OF THE DAY
COME FORTH AND SHOW WHAT NIGHT WILL SAY

LIFE GIVING SUN OF SHIMMERING GOLD
PENDULUM OF TIME IN YOU BEHOLD

SKY OF BLUE GRAY PINK AND WHITE
BEGINS TO TWINKLE WITH STAR LIGHT

EVENING SHADOWS LINGER UPON DUSKS REQUEST
NOW FLOWER OF DAY HAS TURNED TO REST

MOON WITH ALL YOUR PLEASING FORM
WILL SHINE YOUR LIGHT UNTIL THE EARLY MORN

VOICES IN TIME OUR EARS TO LEND
ECHOING BACK THROUGH NIGHTS LAST END

ENCHANTING SILENCE FALLS WITHIN THE BREST
AND SLEEP NOW TAKES THE SOUL TO REST

MOTHER OF DARKNESS OUR ESSENCE ENTOMB
AND HOLD US IN THY PEACEFUL WOMB

LIFE'S RIVER OF BEAUTY RUSHING ON AND ON
WILL DRIFT OUR VESSEL SLOWLY TOWARDS THE SOFT LIGHT OF DAWN
