Good night! which put the candle out?

Good Night! Which put

the Candle out?

A jealous Zephyr - not a

doubt -

Ah, friend, you little knew

How long at that celestial

wick

The Angels - labored diligent -

Extinguished - now - for you!

It might - have been the

Light House spark -

Some Sailor - rowing in the

Dark -

Had importuned to see!

It might - have been the

Waning lamp

That lit the Drummer

from the Camp

To purer Reveille!
