by Mary Coleridge (1861 - 1907)
Night is fallen within, without
Language: English
Night is fallen within, without, Come, Love, soon! I am weary of my doubt. The golden fire of the Sun is out, The silver fire of the Moon. Love shall be A child in me When they are cinders gray, With the earth and with the sea, With the star that shines on thee, And the night and day.
