NOW IS THE HOUR SACRED
TO THE LAMP.
Now is the hour sacred to the lamp
Lighted while dusk is blue against
the pane,
Now is the hour when quiet comes
again.
The little fire burns against the
damp,
The candles flicker like familiar lares
The great world of the day ebbs in
the gloom,
Nothing is real outside the yellow
room —
Our universe, with its own sun and
stars.
Elizabeth Coatsworth.
FOR MUTED STRINGS.
The tree toad's tiny, muffled gong
Pervades the deepening dusk and
brings
Us nearer to the end of song
And the last throb of muted strings.
Even the creviced cricket knows
What many a listener disavows
When Summer hastens to its close
And heavy hang the apple boughs.
There will tc music still to come,
Along with twilight and the stars —
Invisible troubadours who strum
Enchanted harps and soft guitars.
Only at evening can we sense
How silence falls among the sheaves
Hushing all carthborn eloquence
Under the scattered leaves.
Leslie Nelson Jennings.
