A Clear Midnight

wwnorton:

This is thy hour O Soul, thy free flight into the wordless,
Away from books, away from art, the day erased, the lesson
        done,
Thee fully forth emerging, silent, gazing, pondering the
        themes thou lovest best,
Night, sleep, death and the stars.

-Walt Whitman
