Poetry of Kansas
 

A Winter Evening.

A bright, December day is near its close.
    The light is lingering on the western
        hills,
In dazzling beauty.___How it gleams and glows
    On field and forest! All the air it fills
 
With brilliant colors. Meadows broad and brown,
    Are brightened and all glowing in the light,
And smiling as the beams stoop gently down
    To kiss their cheeks a soft and sweet good night.

__Colfax Burgoyne Harman
