Oh, Muse of the Night

Oh muse of the night
With your tantalizing
Swirling
Whirling
And calling the poets to rise

All called hear your voice
As you whisper through the
Lilting
Unfurling
Of rhythms and rhymes

And we dance round the moon
While the stars keep time
As eternity's love song grows dear
Oh muse of the night
Call the poets to be hearty
And raise all the poems from their tears

Oh muse of the night
Each intoxicating
Drumbeat
A heartsbeat
That reaches us deep in our souls

Spin your web of delight
'Round each syncopating
Lifespeak
A rhythm
For dreamers tonight

As we dance through the stars
'Neath the full moonlight
Ancient worlds of infinity near
Oh muse of the night
Stir the dreamers with your starlight
To count all the gold in their tears
