Death & Dying
Good Night
Translated by James Clarence Mangan (1845) · From Poems, ed. John Mitchel (New York, 1859)
Death & Dying
GOOD Night, Good Night, my Lyre!
A long, a last Good Night!
In ashes lies the fire
That lent me Warmth and Light.
With Love, Life too is fled;
My bosom's blood is cold;
My mind is all but dead;
My heart is growing old.
Soon will my sad eyes close,
O, Lyre, on Earth and Thee I
I go to woo Repose
In GOD'S Eternity!
