DUSK SONG
,7 BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

A certain fragrant aura clings And brings release from pain As blended tones unite to sing And are as tender rain Celestial in its origin, And calming as a dream, Like comfortable kin Or gold's distinctive gleam. It is the highest time of day When one puts down his toll And stops while to bow and pray Upon the yielding soil. Then music comes and brings along A galaxy of friends, Sweet symphonies of sunlit song To hear as Nature mends.
