Night The beauty of night compared to day Will make some wonder, make some say Which is better, day or night? Then they'll try with all their might To descern the best of the two, The stary night, or the morning dew But try with all their soul and heart They shall never take apart The rising sun, from the rising moon For both seem to end too soon So ask philosophers to ponder on Which is better, dusk or dawn? But they cannot say which one is better For there is not one without the other They are together, one and all They are the same, like Spring and Fall But if they complete this amazing task They'll get wine poured in a flask Yet try with all their strength and will That empty space, they'll never fill For if they remove the night or day What will all the people say? What would all the people do? But, if they did, what would you? -HTC |

A little bit of history: Too many people have taken this poem seriously. Separating night from day is a metaphor for other things. What those other things are, I'll let you decide for yourself. It does mean something to me, but that's just me. Let it mean whatever it wants to. I will not confine it by saying what it's supposed to mean. |
