Wake

What hours, O what black hours we have spent
This night!”

Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;
Sounds of the rude world heard in the day,
Lull’d by the moonlight have all pass’d away.”

Who went to church with his hat on.

“With my hat on my head,
I shall know that it hasn’t been sat on.””
