WESTWARD by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: AND DOST THOU LEAD HIM HENCE WITH THEE
Last Line: AND BLESS THE NIGHT.
Subject(s): SELF;

AND dost thou lead him hence with thee
O setting sun,
And leave the shadows all to me
When he is gone?
Ah, if my grief his guerdon be,
My dark his light,
I count each loss felicity,
And bless the night.
