Goddess of Night
English source:
Frederick William Harvey
Calm with the calm of all old earth has taken
To her peaceful breast
And will not waken,
Pale with passion of Life that never dies;
You sit there watching us,
Watching us with with clear bright eyes.
To her peaceful breast
And will not waken,
Pale with passion of Life that never dies;
You sit there watching us,
Watching us with with clear bright eyes.
