Soft Night By Abelardo Subido

The night is soft and cool. I wait for you

Amid the garden dusk beneath the trees

This is the hour of softly falling dew

I breathe your name;It floats upon the breeze

That gently stirs the clinging window- vines

You can not hear,the fervid longing dies

Upon my heart. I hear a bird repine

In liquid notes that mingle with sighs

Rise from your dreams. The sampaguitas faints

The cool,soft night is slipping wanning slow...

Night sheds its tears, The night birds sad complaints

Melts into silence Love,i want you so

Rise from your dreams; I bring you love more sweet

Than all the flowers I scattered at your feet
