Dear love good-night

AR love, good-night.

And, tender sleep,

Seal up her lids like these drowsed flowers,

To make day fair when they unclose.

Be hushed around her,

Night, and

Thy silent guard on her repose;

But speed thine hours.

Dear love, sleep on.

This weary spaceI wake and long for day and thee,

And count the slow stars from their west.

Sleep while I hunger for thy face,

Sleep, dearest, in unbroken rest;

But dream of me.
