Good Night

By Sarah A. Massie

WHEN the wearisome day, with its toil and fret, Draws near to its close, when the sun has set, And fades the lingering light, We sleep with a touch like a fond caress, That bids us forget the day's distress, And softly sink to our promised rest, ‘With a fond “good night.”’
Ah, well for us after the toil and strife, When the sunset has closed on our weary life, Ere we enter the morning light, That God touches the hearts that toil and weep, And giveth to his beloved sleep, Calm and dreamless, silent and deep,— ’Tis his “good night”!​
— Sarah A. Massie.
