"When The Dark Comes"

Title:     "When The Dark Comes"
Author: Dora Sigerson Shorter [More Titles by Shorter]

When the dark comes,
"Is this the end?" I pray,
No answer from the night,
And then once more the day.
I take the world again
Upon my neck and go
Pace with the serious hours.
Since fate will have it so,
Begone dead man, unclasp
Your hands from round my heart,
I and my burden pass,
You and your peace depart.

[The end]
Dora Sigerson Shorter's poem: "When The Dark Comes"
