A little moment at the end Of day, left over in the candle light On the shore of dreams, on the edge of sleep, Too small to throw away, Too poor to keep! But it holds two words for thee, dear Friend,-- Good-night, Good night! And so this remnant of the day, Left over in the candle-light On the shore of dreams, on the edge of sleep, Becomes too great to throw away, Too dear to keep!
