Night And Morning

Title:     Night And Morning
Author: Edward Powys Mathers [More Titles by Mathers]

The great brightness of the burning of the stars,
Little frightened love,
Is like your eyes,
When in the heavy dusk
You question the dark blue shadows,
Fearing an evil.

Below the night
The one clear line of dawn;
As it were your head
Where there is one golden hair
Though your hair is very brown.

From the Arabic (School of Ebn-el-Moattaz) (Ninth century).

[The end]
Edward Powys Mathers's poem: Night And Morning
