| Four Songs, Op. 13: No. 4, Nocturne |
|---|
| Close my darling both your eyes, |
| Let your arms lie still at last. |
| Calm the lake of falsehood lies |
| And the wind of lust has passed, |
| Waves across these hopeless sands |
| Fill my heart and end my day, |
| Underneath your moving hands |
| All my aching flows away. |
| Even the human pyramids |
| Blaze with such a longing now: |
| Close, my love, your trembling lids, |
| Let the midnight heal your brow, |
| Northward flames Orion’s horn, |
| Westward th' Egyptian light. |
| None to watch us, none to warn |
| But the blind eternal night. |
