Benediction

Setting sun

Most beautiful before it departs

You were glorious

Before saying goodnight

The benediction you gave

Before darkness came.

In trials we cannot see.

Only through flames

Which destroy all temporal

Shall we see grace.

The night is coming, the night is coming!

Put oil in your lamps, and bring extra
