Night
Night like purple flakes of snow Falls with ease Catching on the roofs of houses In the tops of trees Down upon the distant grass And the distant flower It will drift into this room In an hour....
Nocturne
Softly blow lightly O twilight breeze Scarcely bend slightly O silver trees: Night glides slowly down hill ... down stream Bringing a myriad star-twinkling dream.... Softly blow lightly O twilight breeze Scarcely bend slightly O silver trees: Night will spill sleep in your day weary eye While a soft yellow moon steals down the sky.... Softly blow Scarcely bend So ...! Lullaby....
After All
After all and after all When the song is sung And swallowed up in silence It were more real unsung....
After all and after all When the lips have stirred Such a little of the thought Is transmuted in the word....
Suffer not my ears with hearing Suffer not your thoughts with speech. Let us feel into our meaning And thus know the all of each.
