Finis

Over silent waters
                   day descending
                                  night ascending
floods the gentle glory of the sunset
In a golden greeting
                      splendidly to westward
as pale twilight
                 trem-
                       bles
                            into
                                 Darkness
comes the last light's gracious exhortation
                                           Lifting up to peace
so when life shall falter
                          standing on the shores of the
eternal
god
    May I behold my sunset
Flooding
        over silent waters
