Night Lyric

In the world's far edges Faint and blue, Where the rocky ledges Stand in view,

Fades the rosy, tender Evening light; Then in starry splendor Comes the night.

So a stormy lifetime Comes to close, Spirit's mortal strifetime Finds repose.

Faith and toil and vision Crowned at last, Failure and derision Overpast,—

All the daylight splendor Far above, Calm and sure and tender Comes thy love.
