Supreme through all the hours of the day

I hold one sweetest: not the day or hour,

Dear, when you came to me; nor yet the flower

Of perfect days, though that is sweet alway,

Yet as each new day comes, it brings for dower

One moment whose rich gladness will outweigh

All others: that first moment when the night
