NIGHT, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Take me, night, unto thy breast!
Last Line: Lose me, lose me, night!
Subject(s): Night; Bedtime


TAKE me, night, unto thy breast!
To my lips the cup of rest,
Cool with dews, be pressed!

Drift me down unrippled streams
Under star-beams and moon-beams!
Mantle me with dreams!

Then in caverns of delight,
Far beyond all mortal sight,
Lose me, lose me, night!
