ARMSTRONG'S GOOD NIGHT by THOMAS ARMSTRONG

First Line: THIS NIGHT IS MY DEPARTING NIGHT
Last Line: GOOD NIGHT! AND JOY BE WITH YOU ALL!
Subject(s): DEATH; DEAD, THE;

This night is my departing night;
For here nae langer must I stay!
There's neither friend, nor foe, o' mine,
But wishes me away.

What I have done thro' lack of wit
I never, never can recall!
I hope ye're a' my friends as yet;
Good Night! and joy be with you all!
