To-night is the nocturne <br />That in the air plays violins <br />And violins bathed in wine <br />Play to the stars and light. <br /> <br />Silent the night! The curtains dark <br />Immense stretch background of <br />Immensity and sorrows hid <br />From sight of kindly moon. <br /> <br />To-night is the nocturne <br />But tempest will be soon <br />And thunder rain and lightning <br />That keep sweet Dawn awaiting.<br /><br />Emmanuel George Cefai<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-night-is-the-nocturne/
