A darkness at the depth of bottom day
Seems strange to see, when all should be alight,
Flaming freely to push back with fire the gray
That lives inside us. Light the living night
And make it magic: mildness and quiet
Are for another, aging time; be merry.
Right now it's righteous to go mad and riot;
Jejune delights, and joyful Tom-and-Jerry
Antics; let later lives and loves be sad
For now, in night, is not the time to rest,
And manic mayhem is the rule. Be mad;
Send sanity away to seek a nest
In other hearts; here happiness is king
And each ecstatic over everything.
