Item 2040

Poem sketched on the back of a copy of a letter to Miss Holm, whom Heath later married.

l890s

 

Original is missing.

 

 

The pale aesthetic hues of evening sky

Hold tints of golden thought and azure peace

As on this dreamy clover bed I lie

And watch the glory of the daylight cease.

The fairy phantom time of quiet rest

The hour of calm repose and peaceful glow

When day and night seem giving of their best

And tranquil glory transforms all below.
