Evening

---

The cricket sang,

And set the sun,

And workmen finished, one by one,

   Their seam the day upon.

---

The low grass loaded with the dew,

The twilight stood as strangers do

With hat in hand, polite and new,

   To stay as if, or go.

---

A vastness, as a neighbor, came, —

A wisdom without face or name,

A peace, as hemispheres at home, —

   And so the night became.

Except the heaven had come so near > > >
