Time softens to silk now,
And the birds sleep
On the hidden bough,
Where the dark is deep.

No more the sun plays
His golden pranks,
'Twixt branched ways
And cloud phalanx.

In wave-like chimes
Of silence flows
The moon betimes,
On trees in rows.

No man need train
Eyes near or far,
To plumb the plain
Of moon or star.

Here Night, the queen
Of grief and care,
With mind serene,
Is wrapped in prayer.
