Nightwatch for M y LADY IRENE

A poem

 

Nightwatch.

 

When silence fills the bowl of night.

My lady slumbers peacefully,

to lie beside her is my right.

 A source to me of sheer delight.

 

My lady slumbers peacefully.

She is aware that I am near

safeguarding her security.

She knows she can rely on me

 

To lie beside her is my right

 a privilege I had to earn.

I am rewarded by the sight

 this night and every other night.

 

 A source to me of sheer delight.

My lady dreams her dreams in peace

 When silence fills the bowl of night

 I watch and ward her by moonlight.
