+{{LinkText|:Goodnight! Ah no}}
-:Good-night? ah! no; the hour is ill
-:Which severs those it should unite;
-:Let us remain together still,
-:Then it will be good night.
-:How can I call the lone night good,
-:Though thy sweet wishes wing its flight?
-:Be it not said, thought, understood --
-:Then it will be -- good night.
-:To hearts which near each other move
-:From evening close to morning light,
-:The night is good; because, my love,
-:They never say good-night.}}
