Goodnight, Sweetheart, Goodnight
Goodnight, Sweetheart, Goodnight - meaning Summary
A Lullaby's Calm Closure
This short poem reads like a lullaby, using simple, rhythmic lines and quiet night imagery to soothe a beloved. It moves from visual details—the shining stars, falling snow, dimming light—to a consoling address that accepts darkness while urging rest. The recurrent goodnight and brief commands create a tender, domestic tone that reassures and closes the day with gentle finality.
