Here you will find the Poem A White Night of poet Mathilde Blind
THE land lay deluged by the Moon; The molten silver of the lake Shimmered in many a broad lagoon Between grey isles, whose copse and brake Lay folded on the water's breast Like halcyons in a floating nest. And like a child who trusts in God When in the dark it lies alone, Stretched on the aromatic sod My heart was laid against your own, Against your heart, which seemed to be Mine own to all Eternity. Lapped in illimitable light, The woods and waters seemed to swoon, And clouds like angels-winged the night And slipped away into the Moon, Lost in that radiant flame above As we were lapped and lost in love.
