Poems from Ahana and Other Poems

Evening

A golden evening, when the thoughtful sun

Rejects its usual pomp in going, trees

That bend down to their green companion

And fruitful mother, vaguely whispering,– these

And a wide silent sea. Such hour is nearest God,–

Rich like¹ old age when the long ways have all been trod.
