The Four Seasons of Mary Azarian, by Lilias Macbean Hart, illustrated by Mary Azarian.
It may be in the evening,
When the work of the day is done,
And you have time to sit in the twilight,
And watch the sinking sun,
While the long bright day dies slowly
Over the sea,
And the hour grows quiet and holy
With thoughts of ME:
While you hear the village children
passing along the street –
Among those thronging footsteps
May come the sound of my feet
Therefore I tell you, Watch!
By the light of the evening star
When the moon is growing dusky
As the clouds afar,
Let the door be on the latch
In your home,
For it may be through the gloaming
I will come.
~B.M. , p. 4

I really enjoy this poetry. Thinking of you, Amy.

I remember living in a tiny apartment in Brooklyn flipping through a seed catalog she used to illustrate dreaming of a farm life I now have. Thank you for bringing up pleasant memories.

How wonderful, Adrienne! I’m soooo drawn toward woodcuts for some reason.
