Alone in the silence <br>I ascend my stairs once more, <br>While waves, remote in a pale blue starlight, <br>Crash on a white sand shore. <br>It is moonlight. The garden is silent. <br>I stand in my room alone. <br>Across my wall, from the far-off moon, <br>A rain of fire is thrown . . . <br>There are houses hanging above the stars, <br>And stars hung under a sea: <br>And a wind from the long blue vault of time <br>Waves my curtain for me . . . <br>I wait in the dark once more, <br>Swung between space and space: <br>Before my mirror I lift my hands <br>And face my remembered face. <br>Is it I who stand in a question here, <br>Asking to know my name? . . . <br>It is I, yet I know not whither I go, <br>Nor why, nor whence I came. <br>It is I, who awoke at dawn <br>And arose and descended the stair, <br>Conceiving a god in the eye of the sun,—<br>In a woman's hands and hair. <br>It is I whose flesh is gray with the stones <br>I builded into a wall: <br>With a mournful melody in my brain <br>Of a tune I cannot recall . . . <br>There are roses to kiss: and mouths to kiss; <br>And the sharp-pained shadow of death. <br>I remember a rain-drop on my cheek,—<br>A wind like a fragrant breath . . . <br>And the star I laugh on tilts through heaven; <br>And the heavens are dark and steep . . . <br>I will forget these things once more <br>In the silence of sleep.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Conrad+Potter+Aiken">Conrad Potter Aiken</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=358557" data-title="Evening Song Of Senlin de Conrad Potter Aiken" data-description="from Senlin: A Biography It is moonlight.
