NIGHTFALL
The day-star’s parting glory fades And silent dusk enfolds the slumbrous hills; The crowding stars come trembling into view; The crescent moon its pale gold splendour spills; Bright leaflets fall with every wandering breeze. Down drifting from dear autumn’s quiet trees. An hour for dreams! For dreams and sweet repose, While dewy fragrance softly lifts From out the waning garden close. —Maude de Verse Newton.
