Let Night Have Sway

By Leavenworth Macnab

Sigh on, sad sea, thy sobbing sootheth me;
Wail on, wild wind, along thy winding way;
Fade, fade, ye flaming floodgates, in the sea—
Let night have sway.

Life is a lonely labyrinth, and the light
Mocketh my misery, and glam’rous day
Smileth deriding on my shadowed sight—
Let night have sway.
