I think it's an allegory for anytime I do something I should not have done (or vice versa), or for any other reason that I might not be looking forward to tomorrow. But while the sun is still hidden, and "... she lies here beside me Asleep with the night", sadness cannot touch me.
"Yet I know as I gaze At my young love beside me, The morning is just a few hours away."
