The winning poem:
Shall I still keep thy faith in quiet light
And see the stars burn bright above soft deep
We walk the dark hills at dusk till calm night
Your eyes will rest at last in soft still sleep
I hear the rain that falls on roofs alone
It hums a low and pleasant evening song
The drops strike hard upon the cold gray stone
Their tune will linger in my heart so long
This night has taught my restless mind stay true
Each line I write keeps beating with my heart
And all I ask is that these words reach you
No storm can tear this tender vow apart
Then let the dawn redeem the dark with day
We rise as one and walk the shining way
