HE WHO WAITS AT TWILIGHT, by                    
First Line: Did you ever sit at twilight
Last Line: Is blessed beyond repay.
Subject(s): Blessings; Evening; Home; Sunset; Twilight


Did you ever sit at twilight
By your fireside's warmful glow,
And try to count your blessings?
It's an endless task, and so
You just breathe a prayer of thankfulness,
And sit with half-closed eyes,
And listen to the rain outside,
And the wind that blows and sighs.

You are waiting for familiar steps,
And voices at the door.
The baby builds his magic roads of
Blocks upon the floor.
The evening meal is family hour,
The happiest of the day,
And he who waits at twilight,
Is blessed beyond repay.
