Good-night! until to-morrow, dear;

You go to rest, and I still here

Will dream of all you do and say;

Will contemplate, as lovers may,

Each thing you've touched, with eyes that find

Your form in all you leave behind.

Your presence, and the joy that fills

The heart and soul with countless thrills

Is still beside me, and the ship

Throbs out with every rise and dip

The words that uttered once shall be

My music through eternity.
