THE CLOISTER OF YEARS, by                    
First Line: I shall walk quietly
Last Line: Lost in the question of a night bird's call.
Subject(s): Time


I shall walk quietly
Down the dim cloister of years,
There will be no echo
Of my soft footfall,
No sound of laughter or of tears;
Only a passing shadow
Etched sharply on the sunset wall,
And, perhaps, to listening ears, --
The whisper of my passing,
Lost in the question of a night bird's call.
