The Night Divine

Groping in the Darkness

The players play,

The humdrum of their refrain

Convinced their actions known

While the silvery glow

of an unwelcome Moon

Casts its unsolicited light

across the solemn earth below

Lively shadows dance in 3/4 time

Waltzing nimbly to and fro

and then suddenly turn to go

Away from the night Divine

While the players stumble

Wild unnatural movements

Twisting and turning and bowing

before the Bright illumined Day
