January Dusk 
A ustere and clad in sombre robes of gray, 
With hands upfolded and with silent wings, 
In unimpassioned mystery the day 
"' Tasses; a lonely thrush its requiem sings. 
The dust of night is tangled in the boughs 
Of leafless lime and lilac, and the pine 
Grows blacker, and the star upon the brows 
Of sleep is set in heaven for a sign. 
Earth's little weary peoples fall on peace 
And dream of breaking buds and blossoming, 
Of primrose airs, of days of large increase. 
And all the colored retinue of Spring. 
— John Drinkwater.
