by Edward Joseph Collins (1886 - 1951)

June Night
Language: English 
Night has descended upon the earth
All sounds of life are hushed
Only the breezes pause and sigh
Like spirits astray from their tomb.

And now belov'd my thoughts of thee
Are pangs of exquisite sadness
And my heart is flooded with longing
In this magic hour of love and death,
Of love and death.
