When night has pulled the curtains dow

So ably by the poet,
Then is the time for slImber, but

His dope is that the day perhaps
Might have been made for snOOZing:
The night for purposes like that
He'd hardly think of using.
Along toward morning when the day
Out In the east Is breaking
He might consent to take a nap
And leave no call for waking.
He doesn't like to waste the night
In bed serenely sleeping
When there are many kinds Of dates

II in the daylight he can doze
Away at gentle pressure,
He feels he's just that much ahead
And for the night time fresher.
