At Dusk (Refrain Stanza Sequence) Poem by Gert Strydom

I
Bloody red is the sun's last display
at the end of yet another tranquil day
but tonight it seems as if you are right here
where twilight comes with a tranquil atmosphere,
the poplars do gently in the evening breeze sway
and forever you do remain dear to me
while the night does come with its own mystery,
the stars do hang shining and yet so far away
at the end of yet another tranquil day,

II
in my mind your eyes glow in their own glare,
around us birds do flutter here and there,
on the wind intermittent I hear a voice
while the doves do in their love-songs rejoice,
of God's presence we are suddenly aware
where in silence He walks with you and me,
brings to the night still more tranquillity
and this night has got great beauty everywhere,
around us birds do flutter here and there

III
and real peace and love and joy do our hearts fill
where in my thoughts you do visit me, as you will,
as our love is something that cannot be denied,
are like always almost angelic lovely and big-eyed
where under the twinkling stars I stand still
while together we both do into eternity see
and I wonder how our lives is going to be,
it will be winter soon says the night's chill,
where in my thoughts you do visit me, as you will.
