I need so much the quiet of your love
After the day’s loud strife.
I need your calm all other things above
After the stress of life.
I crave the heaven that in your dear heart lies,
After all toil is done,
I need the starshine of your heavenly eyes,
After the day’s great sun.

－Charles Hanson Towne


靜夜

一天熙熙攘攘的奮鬥後，
我多麼需要你默默的愛戀。
在生活的重擔下，
我最需要的是你帶來的一片寧靜。
當一切操勞都已過去，
我只想躺在你甜蜜的心中如避風港。
一天烈日曝曬以後，
我需要的是你天堂般眼中柔和的星光

－Chareles Hanson Towne
