Poems (Henley)/While the west is paling

​
XVI
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 beOnly and for ever Sun and stars to me.
1876
