Evening shades are falling; Time to go to rest; Stars are softly calling Darling to her rest. Sweet the sleep before thee Till morning light; God in heav'n watch o'er thee, My love, good-night. Time to go to bed, love, Lay thee down to sleep; Weary little head, love, God will safely keep. Now the little kiss, love, Arms clasp so tight; Pleasant dreams of bliss, love; My love, good-night. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CONTRA MORTEM: THE BEING AS MEMORY by HAYDEN CARRUTH OCTAVES: 8 by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON THE WALKING MAN OF RODIN by CARL SANDBURG HAD I THE CHOICE (AFTER WALT WHITMAN) by GEORGE SANTAYANA THE SEA-GRAVE by SARA TEASDALE |
