GROWING DARKNESS
When daylight dies we look for little stars,
Jupiter, Venus, Sirius, Saturn, Mars,
Pricking the sapphire velvet, and the night
Deepening we measure by their growing light.
Jupiter, Venus, Sirius, Saturn, Mars,
Pricking the sapphire velvet, and the night
Deepening we measure by their growing light.
And when Love leaves us, many are the toys
We make believe with, and account as joys.
Alas! their waxing pleasure doth but show
More dark our loss is and more deep the woe.
We make believe with, and account as joys.
Alas! their waxing pleasure doth but show
More dark our loss is and more deep the woe.
