Thief in the Night, di D. H. Lawrence

D. H. Lawrence

Thief in the Night

Last night a thief came to me

And struck at me with something dark.

I cried, but no one could hear me,

I lay dumb and stark.

When I awoke this morning

I could find no trace;

Perhaps 'twas a dream of warning,

For I’ve lost my peace.
