Read the poetic excerpt below:
'The silent shadows stretch across the plain,
As evening folds the golden hills in peace;
The weary day at last has found release,
And washed away the bitter hours of pain.
The gentle stars resume their quiet reign,
While all the troubles of the spirit cease;
Now troubled hearts may find a soft surcease,
And shed the heavy burden of strain.
Yet in the quiet darkness of the mind,
A sudden flash of memory awakes;
The silent calm is broken by a sigh.
For phantom griefs no solace ever find,
And though the outer world no longer shakes,
The inner tempest will not pass us by.'
