NOCTURNE, by                    
First Line: Over wide meadows away from the town
Last Line: Watch the lost shadows of winter take wing.
Subject(s): Dusk


Over wide meadows away from the town
Smoke from the brush fires sifts leisurely down.
Serenely a star in the sky overhead
Moves through the twilight with silvery tread.

Songs by the edge of a glimmering pool
Are heralding spring as dusk becomes cool.
Out in the meadows sweet scented with spring ...
Watch the lost shadows of winter take wing.
