Where is the night that I may rest
In silent solitude
Amidst the moonlit starry skies
With peacefulness imbued
The dark to steal my languid soul
Above, beyond the sea,
That I may reign forever fixed
In sweet serenity
Beneath my eyes, the earth shall turn
Whilst I remain so still
Thus contemplating such desire
Man’s eager need to fill
But here I stay ‘midst earthly gloss
Caught ever by its spell
Yet tethered by all worldly things
Within my heart to dwell
So high upon the ragg’ed clouds
Of dreams long borne, I fly
Through yonder storms and battlefields
Where all are wont to cry
Until the day when I shall loose
All chains that capture me
And soar above to regions where
My heart and soul be free
