THE STOP-OVER, by                    
First Line: Night is here
Last Line: To rest awhile till dawn.
Subject(s): Travel; Journeys; Trips


Night is here,
She opens up her luggage,
And lo! A thousand stars escape
And scatter on the floor,
And slowly her golden hat box rolls across
And leans against the door.
She sighs! How tired she is!
A pressing trip, no doubt.
Then wearily she rustles her dark skirts
About her and settles down
To rest awhile till dawn.
