A Nighthawk and a Nightingale

Keep singing thy precious song ,

my lovely Nightingale , keep singing !

The Stars that Thou wearest in thy dream

are the reflection of the Stars

in thine always upward looking eyes,

and the stripes that Thou wearest

in thy dream

are the moonlight shadow

of the cage bars.

Thou art like a Sun

my lovely Nightingale,

because just like at the Sun

I can not cast my eyes upon Thee

without going blind,

Thou art like a Sun

my lovely Nightingale,

because just like at the Sun

I can not cast my eyes upon Thee,

and when I cast my eyes

upon the Moon,

behold , Thy reflection.
