DAY FROM THE CALENDAR

DAY FROM THE CALENDAR
CBy Keith Thomas in New York SUM
Day sets the dusk as its mark.
balanced on wings like hawk
over the fields here the dark
shadows have gathered their fiock.
Soon It will plunge down the sky,
hidden in history's night.
whence IL will not again ny
over the acres OF sight.
Calendars number It's wings,
keeping no feather Of gold;
only the minds woven strings
close IN q snare that will hold.
