Ernest Christopher Dowson - Villanelle Of Sunset
Work rating: Medium

Come hither, child, and rest,
 This is the end of day,
 Behold the weary West!

 Sleep rounds with equal zest
 Man`s toil and children`s play,
 Come hither, child, and rest.

 My white bird, seek thy nest,
 Thy drooping head down lay,
 Behold the weary West!

 Now eve is manifest
 And homeward lies our way,
 Behold the weary West!

 Tired flower! upon my breast
 I would wear thee alway,
 Come hither, child, and rest -
 Behold the weary West!
