“The day is gently sinking to a close,
Fainter and yet more faint the sunlight glows…
Where Thou art present, darkness cannot be,
Midnight is glorious noon, O Lord, with Thee.”
The Day Is Gently Sinking To A Close (1863) by Christopher Wordsworth (1807-1885)
(Thanks to Julia Spencer-Fleming for this poem opening her fourth Fergusson/Van Alstyne mystery To Darkness and To Death.)
