by Sydney King Russell (1897 - 1976)
Night
Language: English
The night is full of mystery: In vain the heart goes seeking down the nameless dark. The night is full of wonder, On whose breast a star fades slowly as a dying spark. The night is rich with silence, Rich with a joy it sought across the years and never knew. Dearest, to one whose heart is lost in dream The night is full of you.
