LIGHT AND SHADOW by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: I LOVE YOU, LITTLE MAID'
Last Line: AND HE FELT HER TRESSES SOFTLY TRAILING O'ER HIM.
Subject(s): NIGHT; BEDTIME;
"I love you, little maid,"
Said the Sunbeam to the Shade,
As all day long she shrank away before him;
But at twilight, ere he died,
She was weeping at his side;
And he felt her tresses softly trailing o'er him.
