ON the world's far edges <br />Faint and blue, <br />Where the rocky ledges <br />Stand in view, <br />Fades the rosy tender <br />Evening light; <br />Then in starry splendor <br />Comes the night. <br />So a stormy lifetime <br />Comes to close, <br />Spirit's mortal strifetime <br />Finds repose. <br />Faith and toil and vision <br />Crowned at last, <br />Failure and derision <br />Overpast,— <br />All the daylight splendor <br />Far above, <br />Calm and sure and tender <br />Comes thy love.<br /><br />Bliss William Carman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/night-lyric/
