The Night Is Black And The Forest Has No End

The Night Is Black And The Forest Has No End;
A Million People Thread It In A Million Ways.
We Have Trysts To Keep In The Darkness, But Where
Or With Whom - Of That We Are Unaware.
But We Have This Faith - That A Lifetime's Bliss
Will Appear Any Minute, With A Smile Upon Its Lips.
Scents, Touches, Sounds, Snatches Of Songs
Brush Us, Pass Us, Give Us Delightful Shocks.
Then Peradventure There's A Flash Of Lightning:
Whomever I See That Instant I Fall In Love With.
I Call That Person And Cry: `this Life Is Blest!
For Your Sake Such Miles Have I Traversed!'
All Those Others Who Came Close And Moved Off
In The Darkness - I Don't Know If They Exist Or Not.
