6. Good Night  [sung text not yet checked]
Day is past! Stars have set their watch at last, Founts that thro' the deep woods flow Make sweet sounds, unheard till now, Flowers have shut with fading light -- Good night! Go to rest! Sleep sit dove-like on thy breast! If within that secret cell One dark form of memory dwell, Be it mantled from thy sight -- Good night! Joy be thine! Kind looks o'er thy slumbers shine! Go, and in the spirit-land Meet thy home's long-parted band, Be thine eyes all love and light -- Good night! Peace to all! Dreams of heaven on mourners fall! Exile! o'er thy couch, may gleams Pass from thine own mountain streams; Bard! away to worlds more bright -- Good night!
