EVENING SONG: 2, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: It is that pale, delaying hour
Last Line: Makes golden guesses what they are.


It is that pale, delaying hour
When nature closes like a flower,
And on the spirit lies
The silence of the earth and skies.

The world has thoughts she will not own
When shade and dream with night have flown;
Bright overhead, a star
Makes golden guesses what they are.
