Edith Nesbit - Day And Night
Work rating: Low

NIGHT, ambushed in the darkling wood, 
    Waited to seize the sleeping field, 
His sentinels the pine trees stood 
    Till the sun fell beneath his shield. 
Then when the day at last was dead, 
    Night, in his might, marched conquering 
Across the land his banner spread 
    And reigned as victor and as King. 


And you and I--all days apart 
    Rejoiced to see Night`s victory, 
Because he has a kindlier heart 
    Than Day wears with his sovereignty: 
Day keeps us prisoned close, but Night 
    Lifts off Day`s chains, and all night through 
You dream of me, my life`s delight, 
    And all night through I dream of you.
