sunset

It is a beauteous new year evening , calm and free new twilight, The holy time is quiet as a Nun Twixt a smile and a tear, The Old Year’s gone away To nothingness and night: We cannot find him all-day Nor hear him in the night: She left no footstep, mark, or place In either shade or sun: Last year he’d a neighbor’s face, In this, she’s known by non Twilight comes in mists of saffron, Ah, sunshine may fade From the heavens above, No twilight have we To the day of our love. Twilight is for all of us! Walking in the winter evening, The sunset, woven of soft lights And tender colors linger late, The end of the year fell chilly Between a moon and a moon; Thorough the new years twilight shrilly Compassionate; New year twilight! I love thee; let thy glooms increase
