WHEN EVENING LIKE AN ANGEL, by ARTHUR WALLACE PEACH First Line: When evening like an angel walks Last Line: A benedicite! Subject(s): Evening; Sunset; Twilight | ||||||||
When evening like an angel walks The dim old village street, And children's homing voices die In echoes far and sweet, I watch the home lights softly glow Between the archéd trees Like lights of love along life's way Or by its chartless seas; I hear low greetings in the dusk, The word of friend to friend, The tender phrase of one who meets A love at journey's end; And o'er the village hearths and homes In fancy I can see The angel of the evening speak A benedicite! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JOURNEY INTO THE EYE by DAVID LEHMAN FEBRUARY EVENING IN NEW YORK by DENISE LEVERTOV THE HOUSE OF DUST: 1 by CONRAD AIKEN TWILIGHT COMES by HAYDEN CARRUTH IN THE EVENINGS by LUCILLE CLIFTON NINETEEN FORTY by NORMAN DUBIE ANDREW - CARETAKER by ARTHUR WALLACE PEACH |
