But the rain is gone by, and the day’s dying out'in.a‘splendour, There is flight as of many gold wings in the heart-of the sky; God’s birds, it may be, who return from their ministry tender; Flying home from the earth, like the earth-birds when darkness is nigh. Gold plumes and gold feathers, the wings hide the roseate aces, : But a glimmer of roseate feet breaks the massing of gold; There’s gold hair blowing back-and a- drifting of one in clear spaces, |. A little child-angel whose flight is less sure and less bold. They.are' gone, they are flown, but their footprints have left the sky ruddy. : And the night’s coming on with a moon in-a tender green sed, And my heart is fled home, with a flight that is certain and steady, © To her home, to her nest, to the place where her treasure shall be.
