The streams were clear
The forests all around us Were deep and strong And few believed That Nature could be wounded . - Anne Porter PAYING ATTENTION Call to Evening ``Let Evening Come,'' by Jane Kenyon One: Let the light of late afternoon shine through chinks in the barn, moving up the bales as the sun moves down. Let the cricket take up chafing as a woman takes up her needles and her yarn. All: Let evening come. Left Side: Let dew collect on the hoe abandoned in long grass. Let the stars appear and the moon disclose her silver horn. Right Side: Let the fox go back to its sandy den. Let the wind die down. Let the shed go black inside. All: Let evening come. Left Side: To the bottle in the ditch, to the scoop in the oats, to air in the lung, let evening come. One: Let it come, as it will, and don't be afraid. God does not leave us comfortless, All: so let evening come.
