Play Play Play Poem by Peter S. Quinn

Play play play
Oh dark dark night
Nothing forever will stay
In days and its light

My summer is gone
Full of its trust
But I'll still go on
Till I'm dust to dust

Play play play
Oh morning turn bright
Take away life's gray
And shadows that abide

Now autumn is here
And winter's coming
Fallen hope everywhere
No blossoms summing

I've had my days
In beautiful affections
Now the dark ways
Show shadows directions

Love is gone astray
Like fallen angels clouds
All this darkish way
Among the street crowds

Play play play
Oh dark dark night
Nothing forever will stay
In days and its light

Like light gone to deep
Casting away day's fire
Now the days sleep
In their longing's desire

My summer is gone
Full of its trust
But I'll still go on
Till I'm dust to dust

Play play play
Oh dark dark night
Nothing forever will stay
In days and its light

Play play play
Play play play
Oh dark dark night
