Goodnight Dearest.

Before you never found it hard
To say "goodnight, goodbye."
He came and charmed away your guard,
Now endings make you sigh.

Give someone the beat of your heart,
Your love and stray-lamb thought,
Then you can hardly bear to part
With what you had not sought.

But give it! Give it! Do not shrink!
Though there a few pains be,
There's too much happiness to blink
At being part of "we!"
