The Cricket Sang Juliana Hall

The Cricket sang
And set the Sun
And Workmen finished one by one
Their Seam the Day upon

The low Grass loaded with the Dew
The Twilight stood, as Strangers do
With Hat in Hand, polite and new
To stay as if, or go

A Vastness, as a Neighbor, came
A Wisdom, without Face, or Name
A Peace, as Hemispheres at Home
And so the Night became
