Look over there, The moon has fled well she is not kind — she is bad just hidden from us in a clouds' cache and nudging them and it starts to splash with acrid rain on the darkness of the roofs with breath of softness tinging a house where the sleep could stay sleep, wherever you have slipped away all those dreams, they have become wet the rock is sighing it has let the ravine to take one stone falling and meantime here I, I am singing.
Never mind that I am in a jail because I know the morning won't fail to help me when it grows to inflame out of the ripe night which keeps the same also for the next tomorrow. Indeed they seem to overflow these mornings, still in a drowsy vein as raising the head from breast of rain which fell in love with them and shines and to honour both with my lines while for me a note of wind is blown tell me, why I shouldn't sing on my own.
