GOOD NIGHT, MY LOVE SATB choir & piano
Music jakerunestad.com
Text Good Night by Paul Laurence Dunbar The lark is silent in his nest, The breeze is sighing in its f light, Sleep, Love, and peaceful be thy rest. Good-night, my love, good-night, good-night. Sweet dreams' attend thee in thy sleep, To soothe thy rest till morning's light, And angels round thee vigil keep. Good-night, my love, good-night, good-night. Sleep well, my love, on night's dark breast, And ease thy soul with slumber bright; Be joy but thine and I am blest. Good-night, my love, good-night, good-night.
