The one I love best of all

But now it is night
And the cold stars say:
‘Warsaw in Poland
Is half the world away.’

Ring on, ring on unendingly,Make all the hours a single hour,For when the dusk begins to flower,The man I love will come to me! . . .But no, go slowly as you will,I should not bid you hasten so,For while I wait for love to come,Some other girl is standing dumb,Fearing her love will go.IIOh…
