Good Night
Poet: Bernhart Paul Holst
Good night! Fade the parting rays of light;
Now the end of the daily labor,
Rest comes to the busy hand,
Until the morning wakens bright,
Good night!
Go to rest!
Close your eyes with feelings best.
For the birds have hushed the song
They were chirping all day long,
And the night makes this request:
Go to rest!
Close your eyes!
Dream of a happy Paradise,
Life is not always what it seems,
But sleep requires happy dreams
Recompense for him who tries.
Close your eyes!
Good night!
Slumber on ’till morning light.
Sleep until the new tomorrow
Comes with its own toil and sorrow;
Until the morning wakens bright,
Good night!
