Daybreak

By John Donne

Stay, O sweet and do not rise!
The light that shines comes from thine eyes;
The day breaks not: it is my heart,
Because that you and I must part.
Stay! or else my joys will die
And perish in their infancy

Day"break` (?), n.

The time of the first appearance of light in the morning.
