Tonight the sunset glow will stay,
Swing to the north and burn up higher
And Northern Lights wall earth with fire.

The days of love and leaves are done. — Robert P. T. Coffin

A Time to Talk
When a friend calls to me from the road
And slows his horse to a meaning walk,
I don't stand still and look around
On all the hills I haven't hoed,
And shout from where I am, What is it?
No, not as there is a time to talk.
I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground,
Blade-end up and five feet tall,
And plod: I go up to the stone wall
For a friendly visit. — Robert Frost
