The Evening Scene, at the Cabin
“When Day is Done”
If the day is done,
if birds sing no more,
if the wind has flagged tired,
then draw the veil of darkness thick upon me,
even as thou hast wrapt the earth with the coverlet of sleep
and tenderly closed the petals of the drooping lotus at dusk.
By Rabindranath Tagore, 1913 Nobel Prize-winning Bengali poet.
