O darkness, if in thy arms I could rest 
For a wihle and with these earthly eyes 
See thy dim smile 

Maid of twilight, lass of duskfall 
Hang the Moon on the sky's arch 
Soothe the weight of a darkling day 
Croon me inte the slumber: 

Rock here in the birch's lap 
swing in the manor of wind 
Lay down your weary head 
Let the blue stars darken 

O silence, if in thy cradle I could sway 
Like a child, hear the amending song 
The sighing of the shades 

Maid of twilight, lass of duskfall 
Sere thy goblet to me 
Let me drink to the last drop 
The sweet opiate of dreams: 

Ours is the silence 
The echo of ageless night 
A gleam in the blackest of streams 
One fleeing moment 

For vain is all the toil and trouble 
Vain is all the heartbreak 
In the end I'll find my solace 
In an earthen cradle 

So good night
