SONG DIALOGUE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Is it so, my dear
Last Line: "now that day's begun."
Alternate Author Name(s): Hueffer, Ford Hermann; Hueffer, Ford Madox
Subject(s): Day; Night; Bedtime


"IS it so, my dear?"
"Even so!"
"Too much woe to bear?"
"Too much woe!"
"Wait a little while,
We must bear the whole,
Do not weep, but smile,
We are near the goal."

"Is it dark—the night?"
"Very dark!"
"Not a spark of light?"
"Not a spark!"
"Yet a little way
We must journey on;
Night will turn to day
And the goal be won."

"Will the dawn come soon?"
"In an hour;
See! the sinking moon
Loses power.
Saffron grey the west
Wakes before the sun.
Very soon we 'll rest
Now that day's begun."
