Nocturnal Rhymes

Night, weapon´s might. 
Night, horse´s sight. 
Night, horseman´s rite. 
Night, arrow´s flight. 
Night, house´s height. 
Night, doorway light. 
Night, madness bright. 
Night, hell´s blight. 
Night, up all night. 
Night, gasp in fright. 
Night, howling fight. 
Night, mind´s plight. 
Night, loner´s spite. 
Night, bell´s delight. 
Night, cowbell tied. 
Night, port beside. 
Night, wolve´s hide. 
Night, nymph´s pride. 
Night, jellyfish moan. 
Night, beloved tome. 
Night, fires roam. 
Night, no one´s home. 
Night, frozen heat. 
Night, surface steep. 
Night, lips and beak. 
Night, forest bleak. 
Night, owls weep. 
Night, the silen speak. 
Night, brambles creep. 
Night, jungle deep. 
Night, prayers seek. 
Night, sacred sleep. 
Night, clothes to don. 
Night, daytime´s pawn. 
Night, lost and gone. 
Night, time goes on.
