There is a time at evening when the
world becomes more fair

There is time at evening when the
world becomes more fair
When the daisies and the buttercupS
are blooming everywhere,
And the low winds softly steal
Ger the trees that seem to feel,
And a rhythmic chant is drifting
through the air;
Earth holds a gresner mantle and the
sky a softer blue:
Anu my tired heart grows youthful at
sweet memories OF you.
The long. gray road runs silV'ry
through the twilights Welding
gold
And shadows cast before me phantoms
Of the days or old
OF the long-dead. foolish days
or our silly, foolish ways
The Vagrant dreams we fashioned that
have long been left untold.
But at this time of evening, L sit and
dream again
And know, love, that I love now more
than had loved you then.
The sun is slowly sinking-its shadows
drift afar,
And through the mystic. gathering
gloom there CLEANS the evening
star,
And when the moon has shone
On the ways our steps have known
L VIII long for you and come to where
you are.
God has blessed me with your well
come, howe r my fates may go,
And alone We'll walk the forests where
We met longs long ago.
