Good-night

77 of 424 · 1 min of reading

The lark is silent in his nest,

The breeze is sighing in its flight,

Sleep, Love, and peaceful be thy rest.

Good-night, my love, good-night, good-night.

Sweet dreams attend thee in thy sleep,

To soothe thy rest till morning's light,

And angels round thee vigil keep.

Good-night, my love, good-night, good-night.

Sleep well, my love, on night's dark breast,

And ease thy soul with slumber bright;

Be joy but thine and I am blest.

Good-night, my love, good-night, good-night.
