English poem
De Profundis
by Bliss Carman
When at the sunset's close Earth slowly turns to rest, I watch the fading rose Die in the saffron west,
The pale cool stars emerge, And the blue robe of night Is sown from verge to verge With daffodils of light.
Then all the distant hills And shadows seem aware Of One who holds and thrills The far away and near.
