Wake not the dawn too early, <br />Let night remain a while, <br />It's painful to face another day, <br />Without your loving smile. <br /> <br />Wake not the dawn too early, <br />Let night hide me away, <br />So I need not face another day, <br />Having had no communique. <br /> <br />Wake not the dawn too early, <br />Let night my sweet refuge be, <br />For having to face another day, <br />Would be sheer agony for me. <br /> <br />Wake not the dawn too early, <br />Let night my dreams suffuse, <br />How can I face another day, <br />When my heart cannot enthuse. <br /> <br />Wake not the dawn too early, <br />Let night be my stalwart shield, <br />Then maybe I can face another day, <br />When my sadness has been healed.<br /><br />Ernestine Northover<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/another-day-3/
