Song: Fear in the Night.
I am afraid to-night, We are too glad, too gay, Our life too sweet, too bright To last another day. What hap, what chance can fall, What sorrow come, what schism, What loss, what cataclysm To part us two at all? The stars with ageless fire In skies serene the same Observe our young desire And watch our loves aflame. A whisper soft, a sound Unfollowed, unattended, Shakes all the branches round: They sleep and it is ended. You sleep and I alone Torment myself with fear For new joys coming near And gracious actions done. I am afraid to-night, We are too glad, too gay, Our life too sweet, too bright To last another day.
