Twilight in the trees
On a still November day,
Twilight in the trees,
And the world all gray.
Twilight in a life,
The colors faded and gone,
Twilight in a life,
And the night comes on.
Leonard Harmon Robbins was a regular contributor of verse to the Newark Evening News. This is from his 1907 compilation Jersey Jingles.
