Title:     Dear, Why Should You Commaund Me To My Rest
Author: Michael Drayton [More Titles by Drayton]

Dear, why should you command me to my rest
When now the night doth summon all to sleep?
Me thinks this time becommeth lovers best,
Night was ordained together friends to keep.
How happy are all other living things,
Which though the day disjoin by several flight,
The quiet evening yet together brings,
And each returnes unto his love at night.
O thou that art so curteous unto all,
Why shouldst thou Night abuse me onely thus,
That every creature to his kind doost call,
And yet tis thou doost onely sever us.
Well could I wish it would be ever day,
If when night comes you bid me go away.

[The end]
Michael Drayton's poem: Dear, Why Should You Commaund Me To My Rest
