Shall I Compare Thee To A Winter’s Night?
(A Parody of Shakespeare's Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer's Day)
Shall I compare thee to a winter’s Night?
Thou art more soothing and more mystic
Rough waters do rock the darken hues of plight
And winter’s embrace hath all too many deathly sick
Sometimes too cool the rays of the moon shine
And often is her ghostly complexion shorn
And every Night from Night she seems to decline
By chance or nature’s natural course she’s reborn
But thy otherworldly winter shall not subdue
Nor lose possession of that mysterious call
Nor shall daylight brag thou give too gentle a hue
When in frozen skies to time thou gently loll
So long as humans can weep or the soul is free
So long lives Night, and this gives peace to thee.

Poetry: Nocturnal serenade
Sound of Midnight
Sweet music of the night
Serenade my dreams
Lay upon my tired eyes
And comfort me to sleep
By the chirping

"Tonight - ah, tonight! how you came into me:
A drop of honey that trembled
Upon the tip of my tongue as victory hung
THE SONG OF THE NIGHT
The wind's lyre sing
melodies soft and gentle
beneath the seas of glitters
The queen reigns
her throne
When 't is twilight ere the darkness
And the birds prepare to nest,
There's a feeling, sound and real
That all Nature is at
