The Night Wondering about the night that’s sleeping now Or what the stars are doing Like that boy on a night just like this Or that girl smiling like the sun on her face |
And the wife who’s always making, adorning the world each day—and this Lovely Presence, Walking this grove of silver gums. I’m sure Eve was here the other night, weeping and singing And Adam came past in a hurry, looking away ‘It’s too beautiful a night for sleeping,’ he said. |
