ah ivory, ivory <br />shines like the sun <br />and therefore loves <br />the mid-day ecstasy of wine <br />and lazy afternoons <br />and siestas. <br /> <br />But ebony <br />Ah ebony <br />Shines in the night <br />When the soft night uncovers the soft winds <br />That liberated thus <br />Over the sleeping port they blow: <br /> <br />There is a happiness in grief <br />And in the night <br />Your beauty of ebony shines bright<br /><br />Emmanuel George Cefai<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ah-ivory-ivory/
