Analysis of Psalm of Night



Deep night you are
very dear to me.
When you smear the sky
with colour in black,
the half of the world
is unaware of your majesty,
you creep into my room
and I feel your breath very near.

I want an infinite night
where life is listless.
There is no vigour.
Only can hear your footstep
which is dear to me
which is might.
