Night with the eyes of a horse that trembles in the night,
Night with eyes of water in the field asleep
Is in your eyes, a horse that trembles is in
Your eyes of secret water.
Eyes of shadow-water,
Eyes of well-water,
Eyes of dream-water.
Silence and solitude,
Two little animals moon-led,
Drink in your eyes,
Drink in those waters.
If you open your eyes, night opens doors of musk,
The secret kingdom of the water opens
Flowing from the center of the night.
And if you close your eyes,
A river, a silent and beautiful current, fills you from within,
Flows forward, darkens you:
Night brings its wetness to beaches in your soul.

The second line shows that the darkness is sleeping and hidden and not yet revealed.
The third line shows that the darkness is in YOU and it can be seen in YOUR eyes and just like the horse you fear it because there is a horse trembling in your eyes
The fourth line once again shows that the darkness is secret as in "secret water."
The fifth sixth and seventh lines show how the water is hidden in the shadow and is stored up in the well of your eyes and haunts your dreams or thoughts you cant control.
The eighth ninth and tenth line show that the when you are alone and nobody is there to watch (silence and solitude) your true self gets strength and draws power from those dark waters and the two little animals that drink in your eyes are the silence and solitude because the little and can sneak around without being noticed by your heart which is fundamentally good.
The tenth eleventh and twelfth lines show that when you release the darkness the darkness flows outward invading others and pushing others away.
The thirteenth fourteenth and fifteenth lines show that if you cut off the darkness (close your eyes) a different beautiful water will "fill you from within" and wash out the other dark water.
the final line my favorite because it shows that the night and the darkness "bring wetness to your soul", when something gets wet it becomes heavier and so the darkness is a heavy burden on your soul.
but that is only my interpretation
The atmosphere of "Water Night" is a night life that the landscape merges with the human body. The poem consists of a series of images that connect and are repeated throughout the poem. The three key words are: night - eyes - water. These words form the center of the poem, both formally and thematically. Eroticism, as in many other poems of peace, plays an important role. Through the sensual images, the boundaries between "self" and the poem you are cleared."
No - this is about hard times and sadness, about when you hold it in, and then when you finally release it... I just sang this song tonight at the OHS Spring Concert... probably one of my favorites we ever did! (:
I am singing it this year for chambers.
It's breathtaking.
