Too Short A Night

Title:     Too Short A Night
Author: Edward Powys Mathers [More Titles by Mathers]

Lily of Streams lay by my side last night
And to my prayers gave answers of delight;
Day came before our fairy-tale was finished,
Because the tale was long, not short the night.

From the Persian of Abu-Said (978-1062).
