Deep dark

 Into the deep dark

John Clare Stokes 

Into the deep dark wood

we often must go

far from the sound of

joy, the familiar ones

a deep dark wood where

the light is dim around

but even there in the

dark surround

the sound of one above

a familiar song

Not quite so strong as

when in the brightest light

Nevertheless 

a sweet song in the night.
