RETURN TO ME

Song of Night on All Hallow's Eve

In the hush of lowering darkness
I can feel a rising Power; 
with the dim delirious starkness 
of the coming midnight hour,
when all the Earth's a-tremble
I lie waiting in my bower
for the sound of seeking steps - 

return to me

In the creep and drift of something
shifting softly through dry leaves,
comes the whispered voice of onething
for the waiting heart that grieves;
as the nightwind wisps a summons
to the someone love bereaves
I am singing in the night -

return to me

til our world awhirl in sorrows
rests in pieces all around,
and our unnumbered tomorrows
can be left in lives unbound,
in the shadows I am waiting
where the lost in Love are found;
in the moonmist I await...

return to me

Song of Night, alight in flight-

return to me!
