And by his countenance repay
The favor of the loving Day,--
Has disappeared from the Day's eye;

Laelius and Socrates, with whom I may
A longer progress take: Oh, what a pair
Of dear

Oscar Wilde - Poetry |

CARE-CHARMER Sleep, son of the sable Night,
Brother to Death, in silent darkness born,
Relieve my languish and restore the light;
With dark
forgetting
of my care, return:
And let the day be time enough to mourn
The shipwreck of my ill-adventured youth:
Let waking eyes suffice to wail their scorn,
Without the torment of the night's untruth.
