"Good-Night," by Robert Louis Stevenson

Good-Night

-Robert Louis Stevenson

1              When the bright lamp is carried in,

2              The sunless hours again begin;

3              O’er all without, in field and lane,

4              The haunted night returns again.

5              Now we behold the embers flee

6              About the firelit hearth; and see

7              Our faces painted as we pass,

8              Like pictures, on the window-glass.
