We carved ourselves a niche in the dark
How I missed your nocturnal charms
Vigilance shrieked its endless mark
Yet the abyss reached with her arms
Though cold her grasp was full of life
In an instant, swept away was that strife
Child of the night am I
Her umbral majesty taught us wonder
Long ago we gazed upon the sky
Now lanterns and carriages tear her asunder
Love a shallow image doth this soul
One day, the dark and I will be whole
