Explore "Good Night" by Robert Louis Stevenson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
When the bright lamp is carried in, / The sunless hours again begin; / O'er all without, in field and lane, / The haunted night returns again.
Now we behold the embers flee / About the firelit hearth; and see / Our faces painted as we pass, / Like pictures, on the window glass.
Must we to bed indeed? Well then, / Let us arise and go like men, / And face with an undaunted tread / The long black passage up to bed.
Farewell, O brother, sister, sire! / O pleasant party round the fire! / The songs you sing, the tales you tell, / Till far to-morrow, fare ye well!
