Sneak Peak

'I heard the trailing garments of the Night

Sweep through her marble halls!

I saw her sable skirts all fringed with light

From the celestial walls!

I felt her presence, by its spell of might,

Stoop o'er me from above; The calm, majestic presence of the Night,

As of the one I love.
