Cover design by Peg Quinn

There is one last note
There is one last note
At the close of any day
In the darkness or twilight
There is the toast, the ending toast
By the hearth, and by the fire
In the ending of our day.
Farewell, and goodnight
We say often and
Understand them little
And feel them even less,
And yet we say them
Still we repeat them
And we dearly love them,
Though not sure why,
No more or less than the love
We bear those who have passed our way.
May the goodness of good and
The safety of safe hands
Caress you wherever you are,
May the twilight shine in you
and through you
And in standing or lying
In living or dying
May this light be the reflection
Of eternity in you.
Good night, my love.
My sweet, sweet love.
