Good night! which put the candle out? <br />A jealous zephyr, not a doubt. <br /> Ah! friend, you little knew <br />How long at that celestial wick <br />The angels labored diligent; <br /> Extinguished, now, for you! <br /> <br />It might have been the lighthouse spark <br />Some sailor, rowing in the dark, <br /> Had importuned to see! <br />It might have been the waning lamp <br />That lit the drummer from the camp <br /> To purer reveille!<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/good-night-which-put-the-candle-out/
