John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892). The Poetical Works in Four Volumes. 1892.

At Sundown

To E. C. S.

POET and friend of poets, if thy glass

Detects no flower in winter’s tuft of grass,

Let this slight token of the debt I owe

Outlive for thee December’s frozen day,

And, like the arbutus budding under snow,

Take bloom and fragrance from some morn of May

When he who gives it shall have gone the way

Where faith shall see and reverent trust shall know.
