Hold back the night. Let not the light <br /> fade and disappear from view <br />I still have duties yet to do. <br />Hold back the night I’d fain put right <br /> and leave with honour shining bright. <br />Mistakes I made as all men do. <br />before I bid this world adieu <br />and then accept the fall of night. <br /> <br />I’m truly not afraid to die. <br />Because I know I’ve done my best <br />and that is all a man can do. <br />I hope I’ll be remembered by, <br /> when finally I’m laid to rest. <br />Those who I loved, who loved me too. <br /> <br />16-Jun-07<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hold-back-the-night/
