Missing Words
I heard the trailing garments of the Night through her marble halls! I saw her sable skirts fringed with light From the celestial walls!
I her presence, by its spell of might, Stoop o’er me from above; The calm, majestic presence of the Night, As of the one I love.
I heard sounds of sorrow and delight, The manifold, soft chimes, That fill the haunted chambers of the Night some old poet’s rhymes.
From the cool cisterns of midnight air My spirit drank repose; The fountain perpetual peace flows there,— From those deep flows.
O holy Night! from thee I learn to What man has borne before! Thou layest thy on the lips of Care, And they complain more.
Peace! Peace! Orestes-like I breathe this prayer! with broad-winged flight, The welcome, the thrice-prayed for, the fair, The best-beloved Night!

From the cool cisterns of the midnight air My spirit drank repose; The fountain of perpetual peace flows there,— From those deep cisterns flows.
O holy Night! from thee I learn to bear What man has borne before! Thou layest thy finger on the lips of Care, And they complain no more.
Peace! Peace! Orestes-like I breathe this prayer! Descend with broad-winged flight, The welcome, the thrice-prayed for, the most fair, The best-beloved Night!
