Leathe Colvert, "Night" (1924)
O, fathomless pall that enshrouds me,
O, infinite power that binds me.
I cannot escape thee,
O night, night!
My spirit submits to thee,
My soul cries out to thee,
Thy power enslaveth me,
O night, night!
I search for some solace of woes,
I seek for calm and repose,
Thy mystic murmurs console me,
O night, night!
