Princess of the night
Advent, passing drapery
To the veiling days
Traverse within the dusk
Amidst twilight’s threshold hushes
But, for mere moments…
Then the hastening
Twinkling sparkles
Thus, commence jealousy influx
And heavenly bodies falling
For simple glimpses of your face
Where nights with moonlit crown halos
Unfold before you…
Bestowing buttress sounds
The royal eves, subjects to your grace
