Give Me This Night
Give Me This Night
Give me this night that I may hold
When all is gone and this one night is left
And this one memory may unfold
One sweet flower Time could not beset.
Give me this night and go thy way
Like lovers that come for harvest and depart
Like winds and waters and the passing day
All wane, but not the anguish of my heart.
—Omar Hjumas.
