the civilization of Night
ah! it be no less than day
no less
than civilization of day:
at night discoveries
at night thoughts noble
and thoughts great
at night great prose written
and verses noble, great:
and at night too
is born play after play.
at night I Poet Seer
work at my keyboard away
quiet and silence inspire
and combined with desire
lighten wild and fierce
that wild Promethean fire
under whose forge
civilization great be
made,
The nymphs, the fauns, the bats,
satyrs and Sileni,
and all - owls,
nightingales trees - so
long a list!
a whole civilization great
that grows with every night
touched by Evolution's light!
For
the civilization of Night
ah! it be no less than day
no less
than civilization of day
