TONIGHT by MAURICE DU PLESSYS

First Line: TONIGHT, WHILE MAN AND NATURE ONE ACCORD ENCLOSES
Last Line: FLAMES OF MARBLE, AS THEY DANCE UNDER TORCHES IN THE GLOOM.
Subject(s): NIGHT; TIME; BEDTIME;

Tonight, while man and nature one accord encloses,
In a palace tranquil as a tomb
The gold and snow of three nymphs is transformed to roses,
Flames of marble, as they dance under torches in the gloom.
