| Sweet Night written by William Henry Davies |
| From "The Bird of Paradise", 1914 |
Sweet Night, that like an angel comes
To take this bright and happy Day,
A lover gives his grateful heart,
For starlight on his way.
Lord, how my heart goes forth in joy,
How my brave spirits soar and rise
To think how Love's advancing lips
Will shut Love's joyful eyes.
What loving looks of serious care,
What tender sweetness she will give!
Such love a mother gives that child
She fears she will outlive.
