Let Evening Come by Jane Kenyon

Let the light of late afternoon
shine through chinks in the barn, moving
up the bales as the sun moves down.

Let the cricket take up chafing
as a woman takes up her needles
and her yarn.  Let evening come.

Let dew collect on the hoe abandoned
in long grass.  Let the stars appear
and the moon disclose her silver horn.

Let the fox go back to its sandy den.
Let the wind die down.  Let the shed
go black inside.  Let evening come.

To the bottle in the ditch, to the scoop
in the oats, to the air in the lung
let evening come.

Let it come, as it will, and don't
be afraid.  God does not leave
us comfortless, so let evening come.



Jane Kenyon wrote most her poetry while living on Eagle Pond Farm in New Hampshire with her husband, the poet Donald Hall.  When she died in April of 95, she was New Hampshire's poet laureate.

Molly Peacock offers a wonderful analysis of the language and structure of the poem in her book How to Read Poem...And Start a Poetry Circle." very lovely, very relaxing, even as it brushes darkness.
