GOD'S IS THE NIGHT
Good night,—Love rules the world,—Sleep you!
There is no evil in Love's sight.
See how heaven's lamps swing in the blue,—
Good night!
There is no evil in Love's sight.
See how heaven's lamps swing in the blue,—
Good night!
Oh what avails the futile flight
Of thought to bless the long dark through?
Deep is the darkness, and, despite
Of Love, our care is frail to do
For those we love: but all is right,
God's is the darkness; friend, to you—
Good night!
Of thought to bless the long dark through?
Deep is the darkness, and, despite
Of Love, our care is frail to do
For those we love: but all is right,
God's is the darkness; friend, to you—
Good night!
