Night

by

Listen in the reader

Old Heart, Still Heart, Lying in the shadow; Lying there all silent With the glory on thy face; Feet that have trodden The upland and meadow Spring nevermore To the heat of the race.

Old Heart, Still Heart, Life is a striving; Of all that it promises Work is the best; Love is a fable, And wealth is but giving-- Kind is the evening That leadeth to rest.
