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.
