Evensong

Altın Yaprak
At vespers now and kneeling
Down white-hooded
Nuns commence their prayer:
'In principio et nunc et semper,
Et in secula saeculorum.
In low contralto
Through the frosted air.
And snowdrops supplicant
In the pale twilight
As if to echo in a Litany of rapture
The tremulous whispers
Of the virtuous choir.
Larger and smaller than surrounding
Stars and virtuous too, is Venus rising
And, from my dim sight,
Hiding her true and turbulent nature.
