SEUMAS O'SULLIVAN THE GRAY DUSK
T
REMULOUS gray of dusk, Deepening into the blue,
It is the path that leads Ever to you.
Child of the dusk, your eyes Quietly light my way,
Quiet as evening stars, Quiet and gray.
All the magic of dusk
Tremulous, gray and blue,
Gathers into my heart Quiet for you.
Child I thought that we two by some gray sea. Went walking very quietly, hand in hand, By a gray sea along a pleasant strand,
And you had turned your eyes away from me
To where gray clouds, uplifted mightily, Made of the far horizon a silver land,
And I would not recall your eyes to me,
Because I knew from your shy clasping hand
