TAPS, by                    
First Line: Along the wimpling stream
Last Line: Good night! Good night!
Subject(s): Evening; Sunset; Twilight


Along the wimpling stream
Tenebrous shadows creep;
Fast falls the night upon
The bosom of the deep;
O'er vale and mountain steep
By vagrant winds caressed,
The sun long since has set
Low in the west.

Upon thy pillow, Sweet,
Coquettest thou with sleep?
The silence creeps apace . . .
Good night! Good night!
