Its Evening!

It's evening

Pale stars are sliding into

their place

The whispering of the waves

Is almost hushed

All about me is

Still and shadowy and sweet

It is that wonderful moment

When not yet darkened world

Seems infinitely greater

It is that moment

When anything can happen

Anything be believed in

It is that wonderful moment

When I will close all my shutters

Pull all my curtains

And build me a stately mystique palace

By the candlelight!

Yes, it is evening.
