RETURN by WINIFRED LUCAS

First Line: INTO THE NIGHT THAT SHUTS THE WORLD AWAY
Last Line: BACK TO MY THOUGHT, OH EXILE OF THE DAY!

INTO the night that shuts the world away,
Into the dark that no distractions move,
There slips a shadow swiftly as it may,
There comes a phantom featured as I love.
So long astray,
Back to my Thought, Oh exile of the Day!
