AT NIGHTFALL by CHARLES HANSON TOWNE

First Line: I NEED SO MUCH THE QUIET OF YOUR LOVE
Last Line: AFTER THE DAY'S GREAT SUN.
I NEED so much the quiet of your love
After the day's loud strife;
I need your calm all other things above
After the stress of life.

I crave the haven that in your dear heart lies,
After all toil is done;
I need the starshine of your heavenly eyes,
After the day's great sun.
