Now lingers Evening; iridescent light <br />Fading, folds in closing shades of Night. <br />Minute fireflies flash in reverie <br />Ah, the tiny sparks of mystery! <br />Overhead, in heaven's depth a falling star. <br />Old moon paints rainbows on wisps of clouds afar. <br />Night, who charms all happy lovers near, <br />Take our hearts as willing captives to your sphere- <br />Lovely starry Night, - fleeing fast <br />Send ocean's breeze to light our dreams at last! <br />Night that we loved in ecstasy <br />More by far than we have ever loved fair Day. <br /> <br />Night of love-oh, envy not our kisses! <br /> <br />Night of dreams-oh, envy not our blisses!<br /><br />Kate Wiley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/nocturne-i-evening-into-night/
