Ernest Christopher Dowson - VesperalErnest Christopher Dowson - Vesperal
Work rating: Low


Strange grows the river on the sunless evenings!   The river comforts me, grown spectral, vague and dumb:   Long was the day; at last the consoling shadows come:   _Sufficient for the day are the day`s evil things!_   Labour and longing and despair the long day brings;   Patient till evening men watch the sun go west;   Deferred, expected night at last brings sleep and rest:   _Sufficient for the day are the day`s evil things!_   At last the tranquil Angelus of evening rings   Night`s curtain down for comfort and oblivion   Of all the vanities observed by the sun:   _Sufficient for the day are the day`s evil things!_   So, some time, when the last of all our evenings   Crowneth memorially the last of all our days,   Not loth to take his poppies man goes down and says,   "Sufficient for the day were the day`s evil things!"
