THE evening's angel passes where flowers glow . . .
Our Lady of Dreams now chants her solemn hymn;
The sky wherein the hues of day dislimn
Prolongs their faintness into subtle woe.

The evening's angel passes the hearts arow . . .
The impassioned air sways the girls warm and slim;
And on the flowers and on the virgins dim
Falls lovely pallor gradual as snow.

The garden's roses have a weary grace,
The soul of Schumann wandering through space
With an immedicable pain is crying. . . .

Somewhere, afar, a gentle child is dying . . .
Place in the book of hours, my soul, a sign,
An angel gathers this sad dream of thine.
