First Line: The task is over for beast and men
Last Line: And finds its god . . . And love . . . And wings.
Subject(s): Labor & Laborers; Work; Workers
The task is over for beast and men.
Twilight and night . . . what then?
Soft moonlight and a jeweled sky:
A shattered rose; a silenced sigh.
The cool and lyric winds of night
Across a pool that's silver bright;
An ended song, an old, old story
Of life with all its dust and glory.
* * * * *
The soul puts by its trivial things
And finds its God . . . and love . . . and wings.
