The Spike or Victoria University College Review 1933

Restless Night

Restless Night

O restless Night, wilt tell thy tale?
Where hides the moon her silvern trail?
The roving wind with plaintive call
Disturbs the gloom that shadows all.
The sea moans wild with heaving tide
And solemn night-sounds softly chide.
Whilst tim'rous star-gleams shyly peep
Where skulking clouds lie serried deep.
A distant bloom breathes nameless scent
With sea-salt odour slightly blent.
There's mute appeal from far beyond
That makes my stirring heart respond:
My soul pursues in breathless flight
The spirit of this restless night.

Kaire.
