At Nightfall
The pall of evening falls upon the way; The sun is prisoned by its golden bars;A last faint radiance lights the deepening gray, While from the darkness climb the waiting stars.
A hearth fire burns; then soon a myriad glow, Challenging those stars that shine above;The workers here toil on, content to know Their homely tasks, grown dear through trust and love.
