Twilight.
Slowly dies the long June day,
Softly rolls the earth away,
Lovelier light At length divining,
All a dream Of misty bloom,
Trembling star and golden gloom,
Larger heavens and sweeter shining
Which is dearer. dusk or day?
Where the glory dyed the dark,
Lost in light and ruby spark.
Violet gleam and saffron splendor
Melt and mingie into one,
When the long June day is done,
All the depths throb close and tender
Is il day or Is II dark?
Love- the long June day had lie.
Silver showers and sunny strife
Now IT'S rosy wrath fades Ger u.s.
Eds vast twilight fills our eye''
Yet what freedom Of the skies
Parts the star-sown way before US
Is Il death or is II life?

The weakest woman In all the world is
