I shall whisper to the night, Stars are gentle like the white Wings of butterflies in flight. Soft the evening fell and still; Night came after up the hill, Bringing stars to fly until Sky is full; its gardens far Glitter with their lights, which are A thousand thousand, each a star. Watch the thousand wings and say, Gentle stars, please soar and stray Till tomorrow turns today.
Tell me where the peacock flies (In his tail a hundred eyes) In and out the trees; disguise Of tapestry among the blooms Through the gardens' hundred rooms Where the scented cypress looms Above the jasmine; silver night Wrapped above, beneath; while white The waking moon that dreams delight In wings of green that dip and rise, And gentle jasmine's sweet perfume On the moonlight's breath takes flight.
