Come night, bring the balmy winds from the mountain down like a curtain to the ground. Let every care and thred of day fall away from the shivering skin. On the long mound May the moon rise too. I my darkness in the light I want your love tonight, just where the grass is bright With the moisture of dew Just where we are alone, we two Let me feel each trembling leaf on the body of a black tree Let me taste each succulent part of the fruit Stung by the bee. Come night and lay down gently by me Time is a river eroding our mortality Love is the giver of our eternity. I want to smell again your body's history I want to know again the rapture of birth And the hunger of the earth.
