Alternate Author Name(s): Bruncken, Gerhard
Subject(s): Night; Bedtime
Now comes the night on spotted feet,
With blue and crimson scars --
Her yellow eyes are in the street,
Her breast against the stars.
Wisps of her heavy hair are curled
In hollows of men's eyes,
And her dim draperies are furled
About men's stricken cries.
