O NIGHT, BE LONG

O NIGHT, BE LONGByN. KOUCHAKO Night, be long—long as an endless year!Descend, thick darkness, black and full of fear!To-night my heart’s desire has been fulfilled—My love is here at last—a guest concealed!Dawn, stand behind seven mountains—out of sight,Lest thou my loved one banish with thy light;I would for ever thus in darkness restSo I might ever clasp him to my breast.

O Night, be long—long as an endless year!

Descend, thick darkness, black and full of fear!

To-night my heart’s desire has been fulfilled—

My love is here at last—a guest concealed!

Dawn, stand behind seven mountains—out of sight,Lest thou my loved one banish with thy light;I would for ever thus in darkness restSo I might ever clasp him to my breast.

Dawn, stand behind seven mountains—out of sight,

Lest thou my loved one banish with thy light;

I would for ever thus in darkness rest

So I might ever clasp him to my breast.
