The night was made for cooling shade,
For silence and for sleep.
O mighty line by Trowbridge made—
“The night was made for cooling shade”
I hear the garbage-can brigade,
And murmur, cursing deep:
“The night was made for cooling shade,
For silence and for sleep.”
For silence and for sleep.
O mighty line by Trowbridge made—
“The night was made for cooling shade”
I hear the garbage-can brigade,
And murmur, cursing deep:
“The night was made for cooling shade,
For silence and for sleep.”
Oh, sleep! it is a gentle thing,
Beloved from pole to pole!
Ah, Coleridge, thou who daredst to sing
“Oh, sleepl it is a gentle thing!”
Thou never heardst the ash can’s bing,
Else blank had been that scroll:
Oh, sleep! it is a gentle thing
Beloved from pole to pole!
Beloved from pole to pole!
Ah, Coleridge, thou who daredst to sing
“Oh, sleepl it is a gentle thing!”
Thou never heardst the ash can’s bing,
Else blank had been that scroll:
Oh, sleep! it is a gentle thing
Beloved from pole to pole!
