If I must hear another person say
When evening turns inevitably toward
Definite night, that they require day
To truly be alive, though I adored
The speaker, or considered him a brother,
I would not, and I could not, hold my peace.
When will they realize night is another
Better day, whose wonders never cease,
Save by the cursed invasion of the sun?
Night should be strange to sleep, as day now is,
So that endeavors that have been begun
Under his sister's sky can become his,
And what he does may be given to her,
While only light or dark in them differ.
