The Dawn, An Ending

The dawn will be coming quickly now, See how restless the darkness lies? I don't want the night to leave just now though- Think we could fasten it down with knots and ties? Listen! Can you hear the birds? They clamor of the sunrise- Yes, my love, believe me, I heard... I was praying it was only a beautiful lie... But we need to get you home, my sweet; We'll be pressed to beat the of ingress of first light- Can't we just be like this, a minute longer, please? I only want... It's just, I need... to have you memorized. My life... for a minute more, I'll pause the earth for you. But come now, then; there is an end, to even sweetest delight.
