TWILIGHT


The night comes on, the darkness grows,
The light dies with the sinking sun,
The evening breeze more softly blows,
The bright stars fash out one by one
The young birds in their sheliering nest
Stop their lncesSant cries at last
The mother birds wing home TO rest
Until the hours OF night nave passed.
The children. tired, seek their homes.
Their elders, worried full OF care.
Are glad 10 rest when evening comes,
And breathe in peace the fragrant air.
Now is tho twilight hour Of peace.
Now life seems filed with keen delight.
Now is the time when troubles cease,
