[At evening time it shall be light]

At evening time it shall be light,
Though clouds at dawn may swathe the heaven;
Though winds and rain, and mist and blight,
Across the lowering day be driven.
Stand thou unshaken in thy place,
And fix thy glance upon the sky,
At last a gleam will reach thy face,
A heavenly gleam that will not die.
