Now comes sweet night
On to the darkish deep
With every starry light
Hours of dream to keep
Now comes the hour still
In to your heart to dwell
With some to fulfill
That I cannot now tell
Now is the dreamy hour
Where the stars shall fall
Endlessly glisten shower
From Milky Way enthrall
Now is the deep and dark
On to a glowing moon
With its shine bluish spark
Until the daybreak soon
While we together are
In with our sleepy lay
There is a falling star
Twinkling in Milky Way
Giving us newly dreams
To have and go on by
Where those wishful beams
Come through the night sky
Peter S. Quinn
