Text
Evening
by Harriett Fairchild Blodgett
The shadows furl their wings to rest,
As, through the curtains of the west,
The Evening cometh with a star
To light her from the worlds afar,
And says, her gray eyes filled with dew:
“Dear child, I have sweet dreams for you!
Sweet dreams, dear child, for you!”
