TWILIGHT CHEER, by                    
First Line: Betimes, when evening lies
Last Line: May greatly bless us here!
Subject(s): Blessings; Evening; Night; Sunset; Twilight; Bedtime


BETIMES, when evening lies
In darkling skies,
Their frowning masses part,
And at their heart
Insistently disclose
A vein of rose:
When lo! upon the lake
Flake falls on flake,
Until its sombre grays
Tenderly blaze
And weary earth grows bright
With gracious light,
So small a skyey cheer
May greatly bless us here!
