by Hazel Hall (1886 - 1924)
Twilight
Language: English
Tiptoeing twilight, Before you pass, Bathe light my spirit As dew bathes grass. Quiet the longing Of my hands that yearn, As you fold the flower And hush the fern. Guard me with shadows To fortify My failing purpose, My tired eye, That in your stillness I may relight My faith's frail candle Before the night.
