First Line: Night, night, let down your hair
Last Line: My soul's too vast alone.
Subject(s): Moon; Night; Soul; Bedtime
Night, night, let down your hair
And shut away the stars!
Veil the moon in widowed greyness.
My soul is sad with care.
Night, night, be deep in silence,
Hush the breeze's song.
Hold me to thy breast more closely. --
My soul's too vast alone.
