Part One: Life LXV |
| GOOD night! which put the candle out? | |
| A jealous zephyr, not a doubt. | |
| Ah! friend, you little knew | |
| How long at that celestial wick | |
| The angels labored diligent; | 5 |
| Extinguished, now, for you! | |
| It might have been the lighthouse spark | |
| Some sailor, rowing in the dark, | |
| Had importuned to see! | |
| It might have been the waning lamp | 10 |
| That lit the drummer from the camp | |
| To purer reveille! |
