Cry of anguish, like the last dying wail of some dumb, hunted creature.Fade … like a nightmare’s ghastly presence, in the truthful dawn of day.Falling as gently as an answer to a prayer.It flooded the crimson twilight like the close of an Angel’s Psalm.Falling as gently as an answer to a prayer.Passed away, like shadows of the moon.Quieted like love overcoming strife.Scattered, like treasures of the lost Hesperides.Snapped like the threads of a lyre.Joy is like restless day; but peace divine
Like quiet night;
Lead me, O Lord,—till perfect Day shall shine
Through Peace to Light.
