“When dusk falls on us, as it will, To dim the light of lives outlived, When night is next, when sleep is sure, When nothing’s left to lift— I will be glad. The work of a day Well done, this rest its good reward, The best we’ve earned and what We’ve won, this doorway opening. Our lives are like this: years moved on Beyond the words that started them.” — Alberto Ríos
When dusk falls on us, as it will,
To dim the light of lives outlived,
When night is next, when sleep is sure,
When nothing’s left to lift—
I will be glad. The work of a day
Well done, this rest its good reward,
The best we’ve earned and what
We’ve won, this doorway opening.
Our lives are like this: years moved on
Beyond the words that started them.
