Ada Cambridge - A Sigh In The NightAda Cambridge - A Sigh In The Night
Work rating: Low


O sweet darkness, still, and calm, and lonely!    Spread thy downy pinions round about. Spare me from thy hidden riches only    One dream-face; blot all the others out. Bring him now, for thou hast power to free him,    From that ugly garb he wears by day; Bring him now—my darling!—let me see him    Ere the tender kindness pass away. O sweet night-winds, wandering in the larches!    Sigh, and croon, and whisper as you creep; Sing my songs through green cathedral arches,    While the weary workers are asleep. Snarl and fret not of the grief and passion;    Sing in minor cadence, sweet and low; Sing of peace and rest, in soft wind-fashion—    Of the love and faith I used to know!
