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 haven 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。

在生活的重壓下，

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。

－Charles Hanson Towne
