First Line: Stars that in the darkness bloom
Last Line: To the coast of night.
Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb
Subject(s): Night; Bedtime
Stars that in the darkness bloom
Wither in the light;
Dreams begotten of the gloom
Take their morning flight.
And, the gleam of fancy gone,
From the current of the dawn
Tidal memories are drawn
To the coast of Night.
