SERENADE by GEORGE HERBERT CLARKE

First Line: THE LEAVES IN THE SHADOWS
Last Line: THE SILENCE SING FOR ME.
Subject(s): LOVE; NIGHT; SILENCE; BEDTIME;

@2T@1HE leaves in the shadow
And starlight are glistening;
Ahark is the darkness!—
Love, art thou listening?

Love, art thou listening? ...
The night shall adore thee,
And, when we are parted,
The silence sing for me.
