Go to sleep. Night is a coal pit full of black water -- night's a dark cloud full of warm rain. Go to sleep. Night is a flower resting from bees -- night's a green sea swollen with fish. Go to sleep. Night is a white moon riding her mare -- night's a bright sun burned to black cinder. Go to sleep, night's come, cat's day, owl's day, star's feast of praise, moon to reign over her sweet subject, dark. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VALENTINES TO MY MOTHER: 1882 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI PRAYER FOR A CITY CHILD by DOROTHY P.
