Poems (Coolidge)/At Close of Day
AT CLOSE OF DAY
(Suggested by words of Charles Kingsley)
To any lone or sorrowing soul, Have I, of sunshine, brought a ray? Or have I been on self intent? I ask this, Lord, at close of day.
Have I, by deed or precept, brought To questioning soul some clearer ray? Or, have I labored, self-absorbed? This, Lord, I ask, at close of day.
The world before has my light shone With steady, clear, and helpful ray? If in thy footsteps I have trod, How sweet my rest at close of day!
