I can't sleep, and there's no light, <br />Mirk all round and restless slumber, <br />Tickings near me without number, <br />Monotonous clock measuring night! <br /> <br />O you Fates with old wives' chatter, <br />Sleepy night so softly swaying, <br />Life with mouselike pitter-patter, <br />Why vex me, what are you saying? <br /> <br />Boring whispers what implying? <br />Do you murmur or complain? <br />Can't you tell me what you're seeking, <br />Calling me or Prophesying? <br />Oh for someone to explain <br />That dark language you are speaking!<br /><br />Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/night-piece-3/
