In plain midnight i feel no sleep
My awakening eyes of such vigils i keep
Gentle slumber trying to heal me
I hear the storm shaking the trees

Is it the storm or hurricane in my heart
Non-stop disturbance like sand in desert
Looked out of window the stars smiling
Heaviness in heart lightens like wings

Silence of the night but bright with moon
Whole earth sleeping including me soon
That was a hope which cheers my eyes
Helas! waiting for it the morning rises

O my holy spirit guide me from above
Ready to wake fully beside my love
But make me dead if he is far from home
At least in dreams for him i'll moan
