GOOD NIGHT by DIGBY MACKWORTH DOLBEN

First Line: THE SUN HAS SET
Last Line: AND NOT 'GOOD-BYE'?
Subject(s): NIGHT; BEDTIME;
THE sun has set.
The western light
And after that
The starlit night
Still tell of Him,
Who far away,
Is Lord of night
As well as day.
Now do you wonder,
Dear, that I
Wished you 'Good night'
And not 'Good-bye'?
