But stay the time till we have bade good-night.

Comforts you'll afford me some:
You can ease my heart, and do
What Love could ne'er be brought unto.

And leave me here behind thee;
For love or pity, let me know
The place where I may find thee.

Robert Herrick

Could life return, 'twould never lose a day.
