DAY is past! Stars have set their watch at last; Founts that through the deep woods flow Make sweet sounds, unheard till now; Flowers have shut with fading light -- Good night! Go to rest! Sleep sit dove-like on thy breast! If within that secret cell One dark form of memory dwell, Be it mantled from thy sight -- Good night! Joy be thine! Kind looks o'er thy slumbers shine! Go, and in the spirit-land Meet thy home's long-parted band; Be their eyes all love and light -- Good night! Peace to all! Dreams of heaven on mourners fall! Exile! o'er thy couch may gleams Pass from thine own mountain-streams; Bard! away to worlds more bright -- Good night! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LETTERS TO DEAD IMAGISTS by CARL SANDBURG SONNET: OF THREE GIRLS AND OF THEIR TALK by GIOVANNI BOCCACCIO THE LOST SHEEP by SARAH PRATT MCCLAIN GREENE VERSES WRITTEN IN AN ALBUM OF A LADY'S COMMON-PLACE BOOK by THOMAS MOORE ASTROPHEL AND STELLA: 98 by PHILIP SIDNEY TO THE REV.
