BEND low, O dusky Night, And give my spirit rest. Hold me to your deep breast, And put old cares to flight. Give back the lost delight That once my soul possest, When Love was loveliest. Bend low, O dusky Night! Enfold me in your arms -- The sole embrace I crave Until the embracing grave Shield me from life's alarms. I dare your subtlest charms; Your deepest spell I brave, -- O, strong to slay or save, Enfold me in your arms! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BREATH OF NIGHT by RANDALL JARRELL HOODED NIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS NIGHT WITHOUT SLEEP by ROBINSON JEFFERS WORKING OUTSIDE AT NIGHT by DENIS JOHNSON POEM TO TAKE BACK THE NIGHT by JUNE JORDAN COOL DARK ODE by DONALD JUSTICE POEM TO BE READ AT 3 A.M by DONALD JUSTICE ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT by BOB KAUFMAN A PAINTED FAN by LOUISE CHANDLER MOULTON |
