LAST NIGHT by GEORGE DARLEY

First Line: I SAT WITH ONE I LOVE LAST NIGHT
I sat with one I love last night,
She sang to me an olden strain;
In former times it woke delight,
Last night-but pain.


Last night we saw the stars arise,
But clouds soon dimmed the ether blue:
And when we sought each other's eyes
Tears dimmed them too!


We paced along our favorite walk,
But paced in silence broken-hearted:
Of old we used to smile and talk;
Last night-we parted.
