SONG by CLINTON SCOLLARD

First Line: DEEP IS THE NIGHT -- SO DEEP
Last Line: AND LET IT BE FOR LOVE!
Subject(s): NIGHT; BEDTIME;

DEEP is the night -- so deep --
And long -- so long!
And shall it be for sleep,
Or shall it be for song?

Nay, not for sleep while throng
The burning stars above!
But let it be for song,
And let it be for love!
