POEM "For Dolly..."

 

For Dolly…
(August 25th, 2026)

By Richard H. Fay

When the setting sun
Dips below the horizon,
When the beaming beacon
Ceases guiding sailors home,
When the welcoming candle
Burns too low and sputters out,
When the gleaming lantern
Fades into a dim glimmer,
When the shining spirit
Ascends to a higher plane,
This wearying world becomes
Even more dreary and dark.

With this sad departing,
The world is darker today.
