EVENING, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Now that shadows deepen
Last Line: Can I be mine own!


Now that shadows deepen,
Star by star grows bright,
What a breath of longing
Floods the silent night!

Through the sea of visions,
Restless for its goal,
All my soul is steering
Ever toward thy soul.

Take my soul, surrendered
Quite to thee alone;
Ah, thou knowest: never
Can I be mine own!
