(Thomas Bailey Aldrich) Good night I have to say good night To such a host of peerless things! Good night unto the slender hand All queenly with it's weight of rings; Good night to fond, uplifted eyes, Good night to chestnut braids of hair Good night unto the perfect mouth, And all the sweetness nestled there
 The snowy hand detains me, then
 I'll have to say good night again! But there will come time my love- When, if I read stars alright, I shall not finger by this porch With my farewells. Till then, good nlght! You wish the time now? And l. You do not blush to wish it so? You would have blushed yourself to deaths To own so much a year ago
 What, both these snowy hands! ah, then
 I'll have to say good night again!
