Poems (Rumell)/The evening star

​

THE EVENING STAR
O the restfull silence o' the evening star!
It gi'ed me strength and it gi'ed me power
Alaing the road o' life!
It look't doon on my bairny days,
My youth past, present, fullo' praise,
Serene amid a' strife!

O the restful silence o' the evening' star!
May it wrap't me roond, as i cross the bar
And loose a' thought o' strife!
It speaks o' peace in its clear white rays;
Has stood sentinal, for endless days
At the dour o' Eternal life!
