Good Night
Sleep softly my old love
my beauty in the dark
night is a dream we have
as you know as you know
night is a dream you know
an old love in the dark
around you as you go
without end as you know
in the night where you go
sleep softly my old love
without end in the dark
in the love that you know
-W.S. Merwin, from the May 2, 2005 issue of the New Yorker

Ooooo, you hit my poetry spot with the Merwin. La, I shall have to find one of his books and lug it around with me today for some reading.
You have a poetry spot? That is brilliant!
