Sundown
Language: English 
Silently the day
Her song over
Waits the coming grey
Dusk, her lover.

Amethyst and gold
Are the sun's gift,
Ere the nightwings fold
And the stars lift.

Silver and pearlpale,
The fading light
Mirrors a cloud veil
'Tween day and night.

Stilled is the earth fair
With quiet sod,
Communing in prayer
Blessed by her God.

Silently the day
Her song over
Meets the coming grey
Dusk, her lover.
