Dusk Longs To Stay But To No Avail

C-old chill and long night
H-ave turned into warm day; 
E-vening clouds disappear, 
R-ain has just gone away.
Y-our birth brings much mirth, promising pure delight; 
L-onely twilight is fading, as the new dawn is shining bright.

A-pril thirteenth morn is fine, 
U-nder the wide sky above; 
R-ays of the sun reflect, 
E-xpressing God's great love.
S-hadows have passed by
T-o let the light prevail; 
I-n the dark the dusk drifts, 
L-onging to stay, but to no
A-vail.
