For so the night will more than pay The hopeless longing of the day.

Or, as thou never cam’st in sooth, Come now, and let me [dream](https://www.poetryoflife.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/post/its-just-like-a-dream.md) it truth, And part my hair, and kiss my brow, And say, [My love](https://www.poetryoflife.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/post/where-is-my-love.md) why sufferest thou Come to me in my dreams, and then By day I shall be well again! For so the night will more than pay The hopeless longing of the day. then LIFE GOES ON … by Matthew Arnold
