AT EVENING

LUCY NICHOLSON.

The master artist, with sure hand,His long brush-strokes of rose and grayHas swept across the evening sky;A hush falls on the evening landAs daylight slips awayIn perfect blend of tint and tone;The little vagrant breezes sigh:How soft the shadows are!Above the tree-tops, bright and lone,Out slips one star!
Poem

MINNA MATHISON
