Classic and Contemporary Poetry

SUNDOWN, by JOHN CHARLES MCNEILL Poet's Biography
First Line: Hills, wrapped in gray, standing along the west
Last Line: Oh, holy, holy, holy!

Hills, wrapped in gray, standing along the west;
Clouds, dimly lighted, gathering slowly;
The star of peace at watch above the crest --
Oh, holy, holy, holy!

We know, O Lord, so little what is best;
Wingless, we move so lowly;
But in thy calm all-knowledge let us rest --
Oh, holy, holy, holy!
