The Long(est) Day Closes

No star is o'er the lake
Its pale watch keeping
The moon is half awake
Through grey mist creeping
The last red leaves fall
Round the porch of roses
The clock has ceas'd to sound
The long day closes.

Go to thy dreamless bed
Where grief reposes
Thy book of toil is read
The long day closes.


Night night all.
