Lady Of The Night Poem by Godfrey Morris

Amongst the water lily - stream I stood
on reflection, a glimpsed on a maiden's face
so elegantly she smiled at me
It was there that beauty rose
I had to make my plea.

Oh fair dear lady of the night,
shine your light to make things bright
guard these steps through lonely roads

Eternal Beauty from the dawn of time
Share a secret thought tonight
and thus rhyme make all things right.

Behold! my maiden spoke - a graceful treat

Dear lad be full with glee,
Dear lad don't be so sad
In time all sorrows will be done
as joy finds tomorrow's golden sun.

All things must past
pain will not last
Only light will prevail.

An with her last breath she fades
only to see the golden sun appears
