How precious is the midnight hour <br />when from our daily task we rest <br />sometimes refreshed by cooling shower <br />with starlit darkness we are blessed. <br /> <br />When from our daily task we rest <br />birds silent rest with folded wings <br />with starlit darkness we are blessed <br />the wind a sweet soft dream song sings. <br /> <br />Birds silent rest with folded wings <br />the air is filled with fragrance scent <br />the wind a sweet soft dream song sings <br />to aid our sleep is her intent. <br /> <br />The air is filled with fragrant scent <br />in slumber sweet we close our eyes <br />to aid our sleep is her intent <br />we sleep in peace 'til warm sunrise. <br /> <br />In slumber sweet we close our eyes <br />sometimes refreshed by cooling shower <br />we sleep in peace 'til warm sunrise <br />how precious is the midnight hour. <br /> <br />JOHN KNIGHT - OCTOBER 2010<br /><br />John Knight<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/650-midnight-hour-a-pantoum/
