First Line: You claim an early twilight, sweet

Alternate Author Name(s): Le Bailly, Mrs.
Subject(s): Noon
YOU claim an early twilight, sweet,
Who tire of day so soon;
Astonished light and darkness meet
In your repose at noon,—
Yet waive their common wonderment
Your need to solace and content.
Of all from azure skies day-driven,
There's many a star to spare
To stud the little vault of heaven
Your flight of dreams may dare,
And break upon you, one by one,
As 'neath your eye-lids dies the sun.
