TWILIGHT by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR

First Line: TWIXT A SMILE AND A TEAR
Last Line: TO THE DAY OF OUR LOVE.

'TWIXT a smile and a tear,
'Twixt a song and a sigh,
'Twixt the day and the dark,
When the night draweth nigh.

Ah, sunshine may fade
From the heavens above,
No twilight have we
To the day of our love.
