Sad Night shall weep her silent tears o’er all—

Good-night, good-night, sweet babe, good-night.

Child.

The day has kissed thy happy heart to sleep

And left thy lips apart in sweet delight;

But oh the Night, I know, must slowly creep—

Good-night, good-night, my child, good-night.

Youth.

Good-night, good-night!—thy care and day is done.

The stars thy camp, the Deity thy light,
