THE ENDED DAY by WINIFRED LUCAS

First Line: NOW BE THE TRESPASS OF THE DAY FORGIVEN, - / THE DUST, THE RAIN!
Last Line: HIS GHOST ALLOW.
Subject(s): DAY;

NOW be the trespass of the day forgiven,—
The dust, the rain!
Go, lovely life, in faint rebellion, driven
To Sleep again.

Be only his. Let even Joy forsake thee;—
Or, milder now,
Some shadowy dream his fair reflection make thee,—
His ghost allow.
