by Bliss Carman (1861 - 1929)
Now the lengthening twilights hold
Language: English
Now the lengthening twilights hold Tints of lavender and gold, And the marshy places ring With the pipers of the spring. Now the solitary star Lays a path on meadow streams, And I know it is not far To the open door of dreams. Lord of April, in my hour May the dogwood be in flower, And my angel through the dome Of spring twilight lead me home.
