First Line: I arose and went out into the night
Last Line: To my soul.
Subject(s): Peace; Serenity


I arose and went out into the night.
What sought ye?
Peace and the comforting light
Of the stars.

Beneath the stars what found ye?
Clouds—soft, luminous—
Floating with calm serenity
Before the moon.

The moon! What message had she?
A still voice
Whispering, "Peace"—borne to me
By the breeze.

Ah! The night wind—did it sigh?
It sang softly—
In the dark trees above, towering high—
To my soul.
