Maybe because you always have appeared <br />The image of that fatal rest to me, <br />O night! You come towards me so dear! <br />Escorted by the summer clouds with glee <br />And by the gentle breezes full of cheer, <br /> <br /> Or from the snowy air you come sending <br />That long, uneasy darkness to the world, <br />O summoned night, upon the earth descending, <br />The darkest secrets of my heart you hold. <br /> <br /> At sight of you my mind begins to wander <br />To the eternal void beyond the sky; <br />And all along the wretched time meanders <br />And with it all my worries; meanwhile I <br />Stand looking at your peace that calms the torment <br />Within my raging spirit lying dormant.<br /><br />Ugo Foscolo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-the-night/
