A wife at daybreak I shall be,
Sunrise, thou hast a flag for me?
At midnight I am yet a maid -
How short it takes to make it bride!
Then, Midnight, I have passed from thee
Unto the East and Victory.
Midnight, 'Good Night'
I hear thee call.
The angels bustle in the hall,
Softly my Future climbs the stair,
I fumble at my childhood's prayer -
So soon to be a child no more!
Eternity, I'm coming, sir -
Master, I've seen thar face before.
