on the ground where late eve shadows lay
they bore an akin resemblance
to the end of the present day

on them showing their constant shay
eyes could see well in advance
on the ground where late eve shadows lay
  
across a landscape's patch of clay
these figures shall stage a performance  
to the end of the present day

as one day drifts into the next one's lambent ray
our memories will glimpse a glance  
on the ground where late eve shadows lay

a tall tree and a bird's wing doth array
forever etching these shapes of remembrance
to the end of the present day

we'll ne'er forget what the narrator didst say
whilst roaming in a silhouette's perchance  
on the ground where late eve shadows lay
to the end of the present day
