GOOD NIGHT, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Good night? Ah! No; the hour is ill
Last Line: They never say good-night.


GOOD-NIGHT? ah! no; the hour is ill
Which severs those it should unite;
Let us remain together still,
Then it will be good night.

How can I call the lone night good,
Though thy sweet wishes wing its flight?
Be it not said, thought, understood,
Then it will be--good night.

To hearts which near each other move
From evening close to morning light,
The night is good; because, my love,
They never say good-night.
