Beauty of the Night

 O, Beauty of the Night!

Sophia glanced upon me from behind her veil.

What gaze alit my soul!

The love of Sophia in the East,

May I tip you for your beauty?

How can I take so freely what I have seen?

And yet I take nothing but darkness.

Black, neither harsh nor cruel;

Kind and compassionate, she smiles upon me from a dark but silken veil.

Tip? That would be nice.
