Now the day is drawing
To it’s quiet end
Another day of wandering
On fragile paper penned
And nothing will remain here
But memories and ghosts
Fair sunshine’s light has faded
’Tis darkness coming close
Awaiting in the shadows
The dying of the light
One candle lonely flickering
And blurring in my sight
I lift my soul to heaven
And find no answer there
The truth is never closer
Than in midnight’s solemn air
We fade as does the twilight
O’er plains and rolling hills
We carry each the longing
No word can ever fill
And only hope eternal
Unlikely as it seems
Can keep us through the silence
Of evil’s darkest dreams
Though eyes see only darkness
The earth is turning still
Soon will the light awaken
As heaven’s law has willed
And in the morning’s dawning
O let me not forget
The speeding of the hours
To evening’s silhouette
