Dreams in the Dusk

Dreams in the dusk,
Only dreams closing the day 
And with the day's close going back 
To the gray things, the dark things,
The far, deep things of dreamland 

Dreams, only dreams m the dusk, 
Only the old remembered pictures 
Of lost days when the day's loss 
Wrote in tears the heart's loss 

Tears and loss and broken dreams 
May find your heart at dusk
