The Night

This is the night
And no stars shine
Do I need their light
When my love is mine?

The rain falls
But I care nought.
My heart to me calls:
We have found what we sought.

We have found a gate
That opens out
From the tower of Fate
And the walls of Doubt.

Mine eyes shine,
And my heart stirs,
For my love is mine,
And I am hers.

And I walk on light
And drunken feet,
So fair is the night,
The air so sweet.

O Sun, down under
The sea's deep ways,
For this great wonder
I give thee praise.

J.D.C. Pellow

  2. Hi there, I'm unclear about the date but it was published in a book called 'The Living Age' in 1921. PM me if you'd like me to send you a link to the publication. Amy.
