QUIET and dreams and a lost voice calling,
Calling up echoes of far-spent days.
Through the slant shadows twilight falling
Deeply in grassy, untraversed ways.
Scent of the hedge and the birds' hushed twitter,
Hints of the freshness of cool-leaved night;
Silence and peace for a heart long bitter;
Peace and forgiveness and fading light.
