DUSK, by                    
First Line: The evening hour of love's brief happy day
Last Line: And dies out with the day's last golden glow.
Subject(s): Dusk


The evening hour of love's brief happy day,
And where is She now while the last sands run?
Her smile I welcomed with the rising sun,
Nor dreamed the dusk would find her far away.
I, on the threshold in the last warm ray,
Remember how when morn had but begun
We stood together here. The dream is done,
And in the shadow all alone I stay.

The world is quiet, and its quietness
Is in my mind where all thoughts come and go
Unnoticed as the birds that fail to bless
This sad hour with a single song I know;
And hope within my heart grows less and less
And dies out with the day's last golden glow.
