I am a creature of the night

Sister Night, be welcome on my window-sill
O velvet-eyed one, o jewel-clad queen
 
Your hair is fashioned from clouds
Your sceptre a wand
You cast veils of darkness with
 
The moon is your shining face
Your voice is gentle and calm
But when you raise it like a storm
 
Your castle is vast
You inhabit the whole universe
Your magic enables mankind to glimpse your majestic void
 
Your demeanour is cool
You rejoice in subtler colours
Than day's frivolous brightness does
 
Your attitude is sincere
Your dignity allows you to move more gracefully
Than the narcissistic day could ever idly dance
 
Mankind tends to frolic in the daylight
And shy away from the strangeness of the night
But I enjoy your comforting embrace
More than your twin's smiling face
