Hasten

Hasten

by Rollin Jewett

As daylight creatures hasten to bed
and moonlight spreads throughout the land…
A dream of darkness fills my head
as daylight creatures hasten to bed,
and sun is gone with moon instead…
while night awaits my first command —
And daylight creatures hasten to bed
and moonlight spreads throughout the land.
