"Music binds us together with invisible threads"

Good Night

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 tomorrow, fare ye well!
                        
Robert Louis Stevenson
