Falls the Night Mesmeric

With fall of night, precious reminiscences
lay soft their fingers on my soul,
As before me float visions of long agoes,
of other days in backward roll.
Hushes now the hum and stir of city’s bustle
amid the wane of passing day
‘Mid vespered song of golden nightingale,
as in defeat, day to night gives way.
The solemn, mysterious silence of the gloaming
folds like a velvet pall,
Over nature’s bier of pale and lifeless day
as moon and stars heed to evening’s call.
I cross the wide and uncharted expanse
of heaven’s high; sail endless seas
In seek of homeward current,
upon melancholy waves of distant memories.
Adrift upon a tideless sea, no captain at the helm,
I stand upon ship’s bow,
Precious reminiscences, I gaze upon my yesterdays,
I gaze upon anow.

The quiet time...
and a background, far away, of bells...
