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; / 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 / That lit the drummer from the camp / To purer reveille!
