Paul Laurence Dunbar
Good-Night
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
