INVOCATION by WINIFRED LUCAS

First Line: THE EAR OF DAY IS STRAINED AND WEAK
Last Line: A WELCOME; LIVE!
Subject(s): NIGHT; BEDTIME;

THE ear of day is strained and weak,
And careless of its own content.
Night makes a silence for thee;—speak!
And Love's alone on earth;—relent!

The eyes of Day for thee decline
A moment of their watch to give.
Night makes a darkness for thee; shine!—
A welcome; live!
