Once When The Night
Showed Me Kindness
And The Moon Was Blue

The Stars Sang Me Lullabies
And Their Light Led Me Home
Times Without Number.

Once When The Night
Was Merciful On Me
And The Moon Knew
My Secrets

I Stumbled Upon Night's Child
She Told Me Of Her Affairs
With My Forefathers Before Me

She Sang Me Lullabies
That Put My Soul At Ease

Once When I Was Young
My Skin Fair
And My Bones Were
Full Of Vigor

I Stumbled Upon
The Fair Child Of The Night.

I Vomited My Heart
On Her Arms
And On Her Bossoms
I Did Sleep

When I Woke,
I Had Lost My Heart
And She Was Gone.
