Poems (Radford)/To-night
To-Night
The hours of the day have departed, They folded their wings to rest,When the last red ray of sun-light Faded away in the west,And fleecy clouds cover the stars, And beyond is a world of blue,And my soul awakes from a slumber To-night, and I see right through—
Away to a world of azure, Where white-winged spirits meet,While the clouds float and fade below them And the stars shine at their feet. They hold out their hands in welcome, And now, for a moment of time,Limitless worlds and boundless space, And planets—they all are mine.
