Good-Night.
My dear, good-night! the moon is down,
The stars have brighter grown above,
There's quiet in the dusky town.
And all things slumber, save my love.
Good-night! good night! and in thy dreams
Go wander in a pleasant clime.
By greenest meadows, singing streams,
And seasons all one summer time
Good-night, my dear good night.
My love good night! let slumber steep
In poppy juice those melting eyes.
Till morn shall wake thee from thy sleep,
And bid my spirit's dawn arise.
Good night! good-night! and as to rest
Upon thy couch thou liest down,
One throb for me pervade thy breast,
And then let sleep thy senses drown,
Good-night, my love—good night!
