So the nightingale…

So the nightingale 

fills a whole forest 

with its voice—how wonderful!

When I stand by a brook

as it flows through the land

all the trees are still.  So

a small place

is mine—

in the shadow

of Love

such laughing joy! 

Ah!  Sweet mystery—!

a wind in the leaves!

In every tree sways

a nest, in every nest—

birds.  A dream.


The nightingale has gone to sleep.
