Behind silent world the sun has set. The eastern sky and hills in faery hues Of amethyst and rose and sapphire blues. Have caught the dying glory. Near CT yet, Where tawny wood and meadowland have met, The languid, gleaming river gently woos Faint moonbeams to it's bosom; deep peace sues To wrap the soul, that so it may forget. But scarce the eager spirit has em- braced That boon. so longed for. when a lightning eleaves The tranquil heavens and all the earth is red.
