I knew a girl, a vision in the light,
Her smile, a sunrise, banishing the night.
The moment we met, a bond so pure and true,
My soul, unbidden, said, "This is for you."
No words were spoken, yet my heart took flight,
Her eyes, like stars, held…
The lark is silent in his nest,
The breeze is sighing in its flight,
Sleep, Love, and peaceful be thy rest.
Good-night, my love, good-night, good-night.
Sweet dreams attend thee in thy sleep,
To soothe thy rest till morning's…
