Acquainted with the Night
by C W Hawes
I am acquainted with the night
And therefore hold you close
So I can chase away your fright.
I am acquainted with the night
And its Stygian appetite
When the tiniest word's verbose.
I am acquainted with the night
And therefore hold you close;
A willing, gentle acolyte
(For I am acquainted with the night)
Who will minister and excite
And purify what has been gross.
I am acquainted with the night
And therefore hold you close.
