it was night
and the wolves howled
the sea breeze blew away
the dance of the leaves
and the trees sway.
it was night
the reaper’s realm spreads
glorious moonshine
bless thee, in memoriam
under the sparkling Rhine.
it was night
i gaze at the flowers
wilted, crumbling
the clouds overcast
and thunder rumbling.
it was night
when you died
a casket of memory
under the seed of birth
into the soil, with your pride.
it was night
and you, you were
a star in the sky
beaming bright
and I would cry.
