Some think the night's a transparent stranger, <br />Some think the night's an opaque friend; <br />And though some nights are fraught with danger, <br />Day to night, it's shadows lend. <br /> <br />Night gives day cold stars invisible, <br />Night gives day a moon half lit; <br />If night and day could trade their faces, <br />Each the others grey, befit.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/some-think-the-night/
