The Dusk Is Like a Bridal Maid

By Rachel Heffington The dusk is like a bridal maid: The rose is mantled on her cheek, A single shimmering diamond-star Clings to her hair so dark and sleek. Her skirt of azure gently rests Within her modest golden hand; Her veil of quiet darkness flows After her hem has swept the land.

It's like viewing a scene of old Rachel. The Mid-West in particular. Fine short piece :)
