So Ends a Day

Good night sweet day, no sad lament this piper plays
there is no shame to be outdone by dreams.

No brightest sun or summer scent
outshone her moonbeam glow.

Now stealing through the starlit night
to lie awhile, to ease, to soothe.

No sadness felt as day slips by.
His lover has returned.
