Paramount Poems by MORRIS BISHOP Ί3 Nocturne in Blue and Silver 'Tis the dark day's dim ending In the old town, And with the night descending Snow drifts down. The gray of the day surrenders To gray of night; Ah, seek no colored splendors In this twilight. See only the gray snow cover With silken shroud The city, the quiet lover, Quiet, proud. The night dreams long above it, Snow falls slow. "What of it," you ask, "what of it?" I don't know. There are sixty Poems in a book published by Minton, Balch & Co., N. Y.
