The Silence of the Night

Beneath the stars, in velvet night,
The world transforms, a quiet sight;
The moon’s soft glow, a beacon bright,
Embraces dreams until the light.

The creatures hush, in solace sound,
While shadows breathe on sacred ground;
In whispered tones, the heart confides,
When Nature’s peace, the spirit guides.

O Night! Enfold me in your grace,
Where worries melt, and time finds place;
In this soft slumber, I take flight,
In Nature’s arms, I find the night.

• Alphonse de Lamartine
