Evening comes softly

EVENING COMES SOFTLY

Evening comes softly,
Softly gliding,
Gliding dusky darkness
Over the earth.

Evening comes softly,
Softly smoothing,
Smoothing clear dayshapes
Into the night.

Evening comes softly,
Softly lulling,
Lulling slow thought
Into dream flow.

Evening comes softly,
Softly singing,
Singing far secrets
Of the star silence...
