Day and Night

 

 

Traveling on foot the warm summer day     

Nature music plays in the running streams  

Beside the peaceful rose the rabbit rests     

Compare not the seashells to this beauty      

 

Now cold night hovers like smoke from the town   

In the pitch darkness the storms move in quick 

Rain beats down its hate and greed upon me     

A fire will drive this sickness away                

 

Alone and scared I ponder the times sought            

Paradise is the day and night is not
