by Helen Taylor (1876 - 1943)
Heart of the night
Language: English
Heart of the night, Heaven’s calm profound Broods o’er the moonless deep. Lonely I wake while all around Waits in eternal sleep. Heart of the night, no hopeful ray Comforts the eyes that weep; God grant a star to light my way Over the moonless deep.
