That night when joy began
Our narrowest veins to flush, We waited for the flash (ABBA) Of morning’s leveled gun.
But morning let us pass,
And day by day relief Outgrows his nervous laugh, (ABCD) Grown credulous of piece,

No trespasser’s reproach, And love’s best glasses reach (ABBA) No fields but are his own 1.
