why night, why night be blamed for shameful acts
and day not yet be accused
when even in the presence of light
can horride crimes be rouged
For the absence of light
just give reason to those, the weak, to be excused
“Blinded by the night” the unwillful do so falsely accuse
How did night rob thee of thy sight
did it steal away during the so called “ beauitful” day
or come while you were sleeping
and in your bed with you lay to make sure your not peeking
Do not look at peaceful night
with such restless eyes and blame it for your troubles
for day with come and mock you with its endless light
reducing you to rumble
Than will you call once more upon the night, to which you did first blame
to sooth you and restore your stolen sight, in which you first did claim.
Night.
