Bird Raptures Christina Rossetti

The sunrise wakes the lark to sing,
         The moonrise wakes the nightingale.
Come darkness, moonrise, every thing
         That is so silent, sweet, and pale:
         Come, so ye wake the nightingale.

Make haste to mount, thou wistful moon,
         Make haste to wake the nightingale:
Let silence set the world in tune
To hearken to that wordless tale
Which warbles from the nightingale

O herald skylark, stay thy flight
         One moment, for a nightingale
Floods us with sorrow and delight.
         To-morrow thou shalt hoist the sail;
         Leave us to-night the nightingale.
