Night Journey

Canticle of Love
Franz Liszt

Peering through the raindrops upon the window pane
The night sky of violet and blue
The crescent moon veiled by a drifting cloud
The night embraces me and I am blanketed in its mystery
This unknown and uncharted moment of time
Sound painted streams, rivers, oceans
Such cascading waters of mind
Reach now the valley of my soul.
