As I, in Solitude Lay

Twas neither star nor moon
On that May night
As I, in solitude lay

Absent too was children’s laughter
That had earlier filled the day

Yet as star and moon and the heart of youth
Were absent on that night
I, in my solitude
Embraced all their light

For the moment of peace I felt that night
As I, in solitude lay
Was filled with the grace of heaven
And the joy of a child at play
