AT SUNDOWN, by                    
First Line: I close my eyes and see them still
Last Line: Where little sheep are winding still.
Subject(s): Evening; Sheep; Sunset; Twilight


I CLOSE my eyes and see them still,
The little sheep, as up the hill
They trail with careful step and find
Their way. So still, so still, they wind
Round rocks of gray, soft-tinged with rose,
Along the path where thickly grows
The nut-sweet Everlasting-Flower.
In visionings of sunset hour,
I close my eyes; I hear lone bells;
I breathe the pine, the immortelles!
And peace drifts to me from the hill
Where little sheep are winding still.
