Classic Poem

High in the midnight heavens is thy throne,
Queen of the Night art thou!
Like dust about thy feet the stars are blown,
The constellations sparkle on the brow,
Queen of the Night, Queen of the Night art thou!

No shadow dark as that dark hair of thine,
Queen of the Night art thou!
And meshed in it a million moonbeams shine,
And dance into my blood, I know not how,
Queen of the Night, Queen of the Night art thou!

Round are thy breasts as is the ripened moon,
Queen of the Night art thou!
And sweet thy voice as is the gentle tune,
The night-wind in thy praise is singing now,
Queen of the Night, Queen of the Night art thou!

Brighter than any stars thy dark eyes glance,
Queen of the Night art thou!
Queen of the midnight song, and midnight dance,
Queen of the midnight kiss, and midnight vow,
Queen of the Night, Queen of the Night art thou!

Thy beauty fills my heart with wild desire,
Queen of the Night art thou!
Thy beauty gives new music to my lyre.
O Queen, before thy starry throne I bow,
Queen of my heart, Queen of my heart art thou!
