New Poems by Robert Louis Stevenson

Flush rosy with new ruth -
Dreams! Ah, may these prove truer
Than the truth.


WHEN THE SUN COMES AFTER RAIN


WHEN the sun comes after rain
And the bird is in the blue,
The girls go down the lane
Two by two.

When the sun comes after shadow
And the singing of the showers,
The girls go up the meadow,
Fair as flowers.

When the eve comes dusky red
And the moon succeeds the sun,
The girls go home to bed
One by one.

And when life draws to its even
And the day of man is past,
They shall all go home to heaven,
Home at last.


LATE, O MILLER
