While The West Is Paling

    By William Ernest Henley



    While the west is paling
    Starshine is begun.
    While the dusk is failing
    Glimmers up the sun.

    So, till darkness cover
    Life's retreating gleam,
    Lover follows lover,
    Dream succeeds to dream.

    Stoop to my endeavour,
    O my love, and be
    Only and for ever
    Sun and stars to me.

    1876
