IN THE DUSK, by FRANCIS LEDWIDGE Poet's Biography
First Line: Day hangs its light between two dusks, my heart
Last Line: Tho' only one should listen how it sings.
Subject(s): Dusk
First Line: Day hangs its light between two dusks, my heart
Last Line: Tho' only one should listen how it sings.
Subject(s): Dusk
DAY hangs its light between two dusks, my heart,
Always beyond the dark there is the blue.
Sometime we'll leave the dark, myself and you,
And revel in the light for evermore.
But the deep pain of you is aching smart,
And a long calling weighs upon you sore.
Day hangs its light between two dusks, and song
Is there at the beginning and the end.
You, in the singing dusk, how could you wend
The songless way Contentment fleetly wings?
But in the dark your beauty shall be strong,
Tho' only one should listen how it sings.
