Eventide Strolled Down the Hills
Dolefully the eventide strolled
Down the hills leaving
Scintilla of hues on horizon
Then yielding to night's decree
owls hooted in unison
Forlorn fowls sought refuge in groves,
Stray dogs tired of full day's gambolling
searched for shelter,
Gophers still sauntered in far off farms
Groping for grains unaware of the wild cats
Awaiting them in perfidious furrows-
A lone beggar on footpath ate crumbs of bread
He got in alms
Thus the busy day
Its varied opulance
In night's loving lap did lay
