Night Lament

I come to the O'Earth
With thy gifts for every flower
Gem my dear I cast with love
With gentle calm, and proud with power

On and on each day is done
On and on triumphant, as each night is won

I come with every star
A thousand voices washed in tone
I whispers stories from afar
Bathed in light, I stand alone

On and on each day is done
On and on triumphant, as each night is won

I come from ancient Kings
Through sleeping leaves, I bring the storm
With no remorse, the tempest sings
Through every tree, and feel and form

On and on each day is done
On and on triumphant, as each night is won

I come from moonlight sky
A song of peace to all who sleep
On silver wings I gently fly
A harbour safe from swirling deep

On and on each day is done
On and on triumphant, as each night is won

I come from far at sea
By dawning light, it shadows me
And skimming waves, I go with glee
The endless hunt, it keeps me free

On and on each day is done
On and on chased by the sun
On and on triumphant, as each night is won
