Dec 23: Day by Day with Father Bill
WEDNESDAY OF THE FOURTH WEEK OF ADVENT
A Winter Twilight by Angelina Weld Grimke
A silence slipping around like death,
Yet chased by a whisper, a sigh, a breath;
One group of trees, lean, naked and cold,
Inking their cress ‘gainst a sky green-gold;
One path that knows where the corn flowers were;
Lonely, apart, unyielding, one fir;
And over it softly leaning down,
One star that I loved ere the fields went brown.
