Contemplation in the light
Those need somewhere to go
Into the circling of the night
With some of its dowering glow
Taking the departing by hours
That's been waiting and ready
In the pouring out showers
Of the falling drops so steady

In the look of the city light
At the evening passing gone
Before labyrinth of the night
Shall vanished and be done
From the lanes and city routs
With every sideway in its line
When the shadows here intrudes
With the day and falling sunshine

Reverie in dark shade
Every fulsome turning point
That in stepwise turning grade
Comes to border the dimly joint
Where the hour falls to sleep
In the pondering of a dream
And doorways of reality sweep
Through its gloomy nightly beam

Peter S. Quinn
