The Collected Tales

White Nights

Here

Where the sun is veiled

In rose-colored tresses,

And nights have locked away

All shadows beneath—

Here

Where the moon is bathed

In streams of gold and silver,

And lambent memories wake

To cast aside all fears—

Here

Where the stars slumber

Behind softest eiderdown,

And a whispered wish

Once beyond reach is nigh—

Here

Will I be, here to stay

Until time itself fades to gray,

With you in the ambient light

Of amaranthine white nights.
