Against the setting sun, tall trees are silhouettes The sparrows circle, then swoop down, to gather leaves, and violets They'll work to form their woven nests Small fragrant bassinets A sun slides down to take a rest, and leaves a crimson crown So gently, then, without a sound, light fades behind the hills Our ills are left behind, as well.....'till darkness slips around
