1. Good-night? ah! no; the hour is ill Which severs those it should unite; Let us remain together still, Then it will be GOOD night. 2. How can I call the lone night good, _5 Though thy sweet wishes wing its flight? Be it not said, thought, understood-- Then it will be--GOOD night. 3. To hearts which near each other move From evening close to morning light, _10 The night is good; because, my love, They never SAY good-night.

[Published by Medwin, "The Angler in Wales, or Days and Nights of Sportsmen", 1834. The text is revised by Rossetti from the Boscombe manuscript.] 1. 'Buona notte, buona notte!'--Come mai La notte sara buona senza te? Non dirmi buona notte,--che tu sai, La notte sa star buona da per se. 2. Solinga, scura, cupa, senza speme, _5 La notte quando Lilla m'abbandona; Pei cuori chi si batton insieme Ogni notte, senza dirla, sara buona. 3. Come male buona notte ci suona Con sospiri e parole interrotte!-- _10 Il modo di aver la notte buona E mai non di dir la buona notte.
