SUNSET by OLIVER MURRAY EDWARDS

First Line: I GAZED INTO THE SKY AND THERE
Last Line: I SAW REFLECTED THERE.
Subject(s): EVENING; SKY; SUNSET; TWILIGHT;
I gazed into the sky and there
I saw a bird in flight,
Winging its way with instincts true
Southward 'til lost to sight;

And as the sun sank in the west
A vision came to me,
Of passing souls winging their way
Into eternity.

And moving on through entrance gates,
Of clouds piled high in air—
A glimpse of Glory from beyond,
I saw reflected there.
