DAY that hath no tinge of night, Night that hath no tinge of day, These at last will come to sight Not to fade away. This is twilight that we know, Scarcely night and scarcely day; This hath been from long ago Shed around man's way: Step by step to utter night, Step by step to perfect day, To the Left Hand or the Right Leading all away. This is twilight: be it so; Suited to our strength our day: Let us follow on to know, Patient by the way. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MOTHER NATURE by EMILY DICKINSON DRAKE'S DRUM by HENRY JOHN NEWBOLT RICHARD CORY by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON ENGLAND AND AMERICA: 1.
