A Gently Sloping Sky

Soundtrack: Evening Meditation - Van Morrison

 

Location: Pususaari.

 

Welcome sweet eve thy gently sloping sky

And softly whispering wind that breathes of rest

And clouds unlike what daylight galloped bye

Now stopt as weary huddling in the West

Each by the farewell of day's closing eye

Left with the smiles of heaven on its breast

Meek nurse of wearing how sweet to meet

Thy soothing tenderness to none denied

To hear thy whispering voice—ah heavenly sweet

Musing and listening by thy gentle side

Lost to life's cares thy coloured skies to view

Picturing of pleasant worlds unknown to care

And when our bark the rough sea flounders through

Warming in hopes its end shall harbour there.
