Gently The haze Encircles Cloys Dissolves all In a breath Of night. It is sleep Now, As gentle Outside tall of night As sun And height of moon In arbour To mellow forthwith gloom Easing pain. Smile upon a bay of countryside. There, where periphery extends To a bank of black cloud, Which falls over horizon With spatter of spume To shine in glow of sultry moon, Hark -in the distance- Voices of those Who came to entrance Who came to enhance The advance of good For good and only Good. They ask: How did you do? And you do? Break your slumber and answer. (Praeludium)
