A Sigh In The Night

O sweet darkness, still, and calm, and lonely!

Spread thy downy pinions round about.

Spare me from thy hidden riches only

One dream-face; blot all the others out.

Bring him now, for thou hast power to free him,

From that ugly garb he wears by day;

Bring him now-my darling!-let me see him

Ere the tender kindness pass away.

O sweet night-winds, wandering in the larches!

Sigh, and croon, and whisper as you creep;

Sing my songs through green cathedral arches,

While the weary workers are asleep.

Snarl and fret not of the grief and passion;

Sing in minor cadence, sweet and low;

Sing of peace and rest, in soft wind-fashion-

Of the love and faith I used to know!
