Four Night Songs - 4 Night Songs: No. 4, Separation

"Out in the dark night

the birds are asleep

and you too are sleeping,

out of my reach,

held only in my thoughts.

Of all things in the world

I love you most,

but I cannot get near you

and you remain unknown.

My love is waiting here for you

to pick up and wear

like a warm garment.

At least enclose yourself

within its folds,

if only to keep out the cold."
