Summer night, summer night
Have you know the beauty of a summer night
With a white streak of stars in a charcoal sky?
Have you heard the insects, with their countless array of sounds,
Endlessly busy through the otherwise silent night?
Have you walked in the field with the cool wind
And the black grass rustling around you?
Have you at last turned your face to the brilliant sky above,
And seen the suns floating there, each a fiery universe?
Have you lost yourself in that broad expanse
So that the black grass and the humming insects
And the child breeze have all vanished?
Have you felt the wonder that flows without end
In those mighty spaces, where countless fires burn
In the surrounding darkness?
Have you kissed the night and its promise,
When it turned its expectant face to your lips?
Have you kissed the night?
If you have done these things, lover,
Then come and watch these skies,
Then come and watch these fields, with me.
Oh my love, come watch with me.
