THE LADY OF LIGHT, by                 Poet Analysis    
First Line: Though I must sleep, and give my body rest
Last Line: The last at night to see her lover home.
Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
Subject(s): Hearts; Love Affairs


Though I must sleep, and give my body rest,
Still must I love this Moon with all my heart;
Like silly lovers, walking to and fro,
We see each other home, and cannot part.

And when at last the final moment comes,
When I have said 'Good Night,' from under cover –
I still have hopes to see her pass my window,
As she goes home alone, without her lover.

Night after night we play this lover's game,
We come and go, from place to place we roam:
Yet no fair Lady, half so sweet, should be
The last at night to see her lover home.
