Nocturnal

The morning sun sits on the hill

A shadowed arc with shining spill

when most arise to greet the day

I know the day my sleep will kill


Beneath the sheets, to sleep I'll go

The curtains cloud the sun's sweet glow

I wish I would wake with sun's ray

for in the dark, my soul will snow


When bubbling brightness touches clay

When rainbows rise in water's spray

Fatigue will bolt my body down

I hope my dreams will wake and pray


The luster of the sun can't lave

the blackness in my dreaming cave

My path, I hope the light can pave

My soul, I hope the sun will save


I do understand the discrepancies in the rhyming pattern.
