NIGHT, by                    
First Line: When all the streets are bright with lamps again
Last Line: That night is once again a lovely thing.
Subject(s): Night; Bedtime


When all the streets are bright with lamps again
And light streams out from every window-pane,
Then in my heart, each gay and brilliant night,
I shall be thankful for the gift of light.

When but a nightingale sings to the sky,
And only lovers' feet go softly by,
Then in a world the moon and stars possess
I shall be thankful for deep quietness.

When all the danger of the night has gone,
And gently, peacefully, the hours tick on,
Then with true thankfulness my heart will sing,
That night is once again a lovely thing.
