TWILIGHT TIME by ANNA MCINTOSH BEVILLE

First Line: WHEN TWILIGHT FALLS O'ER LAND AND SEA
Last Line: THAT LIES LONG BURIED IN A GRAVE.
Subject(s): EVENING; LOVE - LOSS OF; SUNSET; TWILIGHT;
When twilight falls o'er land and sea
There seems to be
A face with eyes of softest gray
That comes in the hush of dying day,
Comes as he did in the olden time
With voice and hands, and heart sublime
For love of me.
And while I dream this happy thing
Some withered leaves to mem'ry bring
The useless, hopeless love I crave
That lies long buried in a grave.
