He said, "Good-night, my heart is light,<br/>
To-morrow morn at day<br/>
We two together in the dew<br/>
Shall forth and fare away.<br/></p>
<p class="stanza">
"We shall go down, the halls of dawn<br/>
To find the doors of joy;<br/>
We shall not part again, dear heart."<br/>
And he laughed out like a boy.<br/></p>
<p class="stanza">
He turned and strode down the blue road<br/>
Against the western sky<br/>
Where the last line of sunset glowed<br/>
As sullen embers die.<br/></p>

The night reached out her kraken arms<br/>
To clutch him as he passed,<br/>
And for one sudden moment<br/>
My soul shrank back aghast.<br/></p>
