YNYS Dusk falls on the saltings, Slowly the tide flows in Hiding the sandbars, one by one. Overhead wings whisper, The Redshank call And Curlew whistle, while Ever and anon the fading light Glows, as clouds part, To shine on wings that turn And bank, gleam silver-white And swiftly fade from sight. Scents from shore and sea Float on the evening air: The night is full of sounds, And peace, as balm in Gilead, Comes in as surely as the tide. S. Z. EDWARDS
