LITTLE POEM FOR EVENING by FRANCES MARY FROST

First Line: THE DUSKY SOUND / OF A HEIFER'S BELL
Last Line: A TAWNY THROAT.

The dusky sound
Of a heifer's bell
Told me when
The evening fell
With a windy sigh
Across the cool,
Starry, swiftly
Shaken pool;
Told me with
A darker note
When a star went down
A tawny throat.
