      The night was creeping on the ground;       She crept and did not make a sound       Until she reached the tree, and then       She covered it, and sole again       Along the grass beside the wall.       I heard the rustle of her shawl       As she threw blackness everywhere       Upon the sky and ground and air,       And in the room where I was hid:       But no matter what she did       To everything that was without,       She could not put my candle out.       So I stared at the night, and she       Stared back solemnly at me.
