At Evening

A broad field at a wood's high end,

Daylight out and the stars half lit,

And let the dark-winged bat go flit

About the river's wide blue bend. 

But thoughts of someone once a friend

shall be calling loud thro' the hills of Time. 

 

Wide is the back-door of the Past

And I shall be leaving the slated town. 

But no, the rain will be slanting brown

And large drops chasing the small ones fast 

Down the wide pane, for a cloud was cast

On youth when he started the world to climb. 

 

There won't be song, for song has died.

There won't be flowers for the flowers are done. 

I shall see the red of a large cold sun

Wash down on the slow blue tide,

Where the noiseless deep fish glide

In the dark wet shade of the heavy lime. 

 

May Irene Rest in Peace

 

A private Cremation will take place for Irene. Memorial Mass will take place at a later date. No flowers please, donations, if desired, to the Ukraine humanitarian appeal.
