James Whitcomb Riley - Home At NightJames Whitcomb Riley - Home At Night
Work rating: Low


When chirping crickets fainter cry,   And pale stars blossom in the sky,   And twilight`s gloom has dimmed the bloom   And blurred the butterfly:   When locust-blossoms fleck the walk,   And up the tiger-lily stalk   The glow-worm crawls and clings and falls   And glimmers down the garden-walls:   When buzzing things, with double wings   Of crisp and raspish flutterings,   Go whizzing by so very nigh   One thinks of fangs and stings:--   O then, within, is stilled the din   Of crib she rocks the baby in,   And heart and gate and latch`s weight   Are lifted--and the lips of Kate.
