TO-NIGHT

Edward Thomas

HARRY, you know at night The larks in Castle Alley Sing from the attic's height As if the electric light

Were the true sun above a summer valley: Whistle, do n't knock, to-night. I shall come early, Kate: And we in Castle Alley

Will sit close out of sight Alone, and ask no light Of lamp or sun above a summer valley: To-night I can stay late.
