The Night Cometh by John McCrae
Cometh the night. The wind falls low, The trees swing slowly to and fro: Around the church the headstones grey Cluster, like children strayed away But found again, and folded so.
No chiding look doth she bestow: If she is glad, they cannot know; If ill or well they spend their day, Cometh the night.
Singing or sad, intent they go; They do not see the shadows grow; 'There yet is time,' they lightly say, 'Before our work aside we lay'; Their task is but half-done, and lo! Cometh the night.
